NOTE: Supplement media to 50 mM Mg2+ and grow at 15C for maximum fertility. Temperature-sensitive failure of gonad precursor divisions. Penetrance of Gon phenotype is high at 23.5C. At 25 degrees you can expect reduced brood sizes and some embryonic lethality. [Note: temperature sensitive period for gon-2(q388) begins prior to fertilization.] Reference: Sun AY & Lambie EJ. Genetics. 1997 Nov;147(3):1077-89.

NOTE: Supplement media to 50 mM Mg2+ and grow at 15C for maximum fertility. The stock will propagate on non-supplemented media at 20 degrees, but this will potentially select for intragenic revertants of gon-2(q388). Temperature-sensitive failure of gonad precursor divisions. Penetrance of Gon phenotype is very high at 23.5C. At 25 degrees you can expect reduced brood sizes and some embryonic lethality. [Note: temperature sensitive period for gon-2(q388) begins prior to fertilization.] bc364 deletes 1,109 bp between AACATCTTGAATAACCATTCGGGAAGT and AAGTCATTCATTGCAGAGCTTACATTTAGTA.

hqSi12 [eak-4p::TIR-1:mRuby::unc-54 3' UTR + Cbr-unc-119(+)] IV. Degron and mNeonGreen tag inserted at the 3' end of the endogenous daf-2 gene locus by CRISPR/Cas9 engineering. hqSi12 was generated by replacing the sun-1 promoter and 3' UTR of the ieSi38 insertion (cxTi10882 site) with the eak-4 promoter and unc-54 3'UTR using CRISPR/Cas9. This strain can be used for auxin-inducible degradation (AID) of DAF-2 protein in the XXX cells. hqSi12 previously known as hq388. Reference: Zhang Y, et al. BioRxiv. 2021 Aug 2. 2007.2031.454567. https://doi.org/10.1101/2021.07.31.454567.
