Fertile at all temperatures.

axIs2076 [meg-3p::GFP::meg-3::meg-3 3'UTR + unc-119(+)]. Maintain at 25C and pick non-Unc to retain transgene expression. Reference: Wang JT, et al. eLife 2014;3:e04591.

mCherry inserted at C terminus of endogenous pgl-3 locus. fog-2(q71) is male/female strain. Maintain by mating. XX animals are female. XO animals are WT males. Reference: Putnam A, et al. Nat Struct Mol Biol. 2019 Mar;26(3):220-226.

Description: 20% maternal effect sterility on average, RNAi insensitivity, MEG-3 does not form cytoplasmic gradient. meg-3(ax4503) is an in-frame deletion in the endogenous meg-3 locus removing amino acids (1-544); MEG-3 does not form a cytoplasmic gradient but does still form granules in early embryos and co-localizes with PGL-3.
