Heterozgyotes are WT and segregate WT, Steriles and Dpys. The Steriles produce small, abnormal oocytes; some dead embryos are produced in late adulthood. bli-4 is suppressed by dpy-1 in hT2 homozygotes-only see a very few DpyBli. om58 previously called ego-6(om58).

Heterozygotes are WT and GFP+ and segregate WT GFP+ heterozygotes, non-GFP ego-1 homozygotes (sterile with inaccurate homologous pairing of meiotic chromosomes), very rare GFP+ homozygous hT2, and dead eggs. Maintain by picking wild-type GFP+. Reference: Tabara H, et al. (2023) A small RNA system ensures accurate homologous pairing and unpaired silencing of meiotic chromosomes. EMBO J, e105002.
