tra-2(q122) is a gain-of-function allele. Do not distribute this strain; other labs should request it directly from the CGC. This strain cannot be distributed to commercial organizations. This strain cannot be used for any commercial purpose or for work on human subjects.

Pick wild-type GFP+ to maintain. Heterozygotes are WT with relatively dim pharyngeal GFP signal, and segregate WT dim GFP+ (heterozygotes), Dpy bright GFP+ (mIn1 homozygotes), and non-GFP fbf-1 fbf-2 homozygotes. fbf-1(q1227) fbf-2(q945[3xFLAG::fbf-2]) homozygotes are partially sterile, ~50% make excess sperm and delay oogenesis resulting in delayed egg laying when compared to wild-type animals. Pick WT dim GFP and check for correct segregation of progeny to maintain. q1227 is an engineered Y477A point mutation in FBF-1 derived by modification of parental strain JK5810.

Pick wild-type GFP+ to maintain. Heterozygotes are WT with relatively dim pharyngeal GFP signal, and segregate WT dim GFP+ (heterozygotes), Dpy bright GFP+ (mIn1 homozygotes), and non-GFP fbf-1 fbf-2 homozygotes (sterile). Pick WT dim GFP and check for correct segregation of progeny to maintain. q1011 is an engineered Y479A point mutation in the R7/R8 loop of 3xFLAG-tagged FBF-2 derived by modification of parental strain JK5810 fbf-2(q945[3xFLAG::fbf-2]) II. q1228 is an engineered Y477A point mutation in FBF-1 derived by modification of parental strain JK5984.
