byEx836 [odr-4p::tax-4::GFP + myo-2p::mCherry]. Pick mCherry+ animals to maintain. Rescues tax-4 null mutant. Expresses tax-4(+) in AWA, AWB, AWC, ADF, ASG, ASH, ASI, ASJ, ASK, ADL, PHA, and PHB sensory neurons, but not AFD sensory neurons. Reference: Liu S, Schulze E, Baumeister R.

vxEx280 [sto-5p::ICE + gcy-8::ICE + myo-2p::mCherry]. Pick animals with mCherry expression in the pharynx to maintain the array. Genetic ablation of AFD, FLP, and BDU via expression of a human cell death caspase (ICE). Reference: Russell J, et al. Proc Natl Acad Sci USA. 2014 Jun 3;111(22):8269-74.

vxEx540 [tax-4(fosmid) + unc-122p::GFP]. Pick animals with GFP expression in coelomocytes to maintain array. This strain rescues tax-4 function with fosmid WRM069cE04 that includes full tax-4 genomic DNA. Reference: Russell J, et al. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 2014 Jun 3;111(22):8269-74.

Defective in chemotaxis to Na+, NaHCO3, pyridine, cAMP, D-tryptophan; partially defective to CO2(phosphate)m H+(phosphate),, H+(citrate); inverted taxis to Cl-, OH-. Progeny yield about 50% of normal. No Thermotaxis. See also WBPaper00002585.
