qIs24 [lag-2p::GFP]. Maintain by picking individual animals with green DTCs and green pharynx and scoring offspring for Fems and Fbfs. fem-3 is not well balanced by qIs24. fbf-1 fbf-2 homozygotes are germline proliferation defective and make only sperm. fem-3 homozygotes make only oocytes. fbf-1 fbf-3; fem-3 proliferates more than fbf-1 fbf-2 and makes only oocytes; also Muv. qIs24 contains lag-2::GFP; Distal Tip Cells are green; homozygotes are Rollers and heterozygotes Roll weakly. mIn1 is Dpy and GFP+ in the pharynx. Do not distribute this strain; other labs should request it 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.

uqIs24 [myo-2p::tagRFP::pab-1]. Expression of tagRFP::PAB-1 in pharyngeal muscles; assembles into stress granules after heat shock (2 hr at 32C) and forms tagRFP::PAB-1 aggregates with age at 20C. Valuable marker for aging and for studying the aggregation of RNA-binding proteins with prion-like domains. Reference: Lechler MC, et al. Cell Rep. 2017 Jan 10;18(2):454-467.
