Superficially wild-type at 25C. Can be maintained 15-25C. rt448 is wild-type control strain for HA3299 containing all the silent codon changes needed for CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing. Reference: Baskoylu SN, et al. PLoS Genet. 2018;14(10):e1007682. NOTE: A micropublication on these strains (PMID: 33474528) incorrectly described sod-1(rt448) as the G85R mutant version and sod-1(rt449) as the control. Additionally, the strains list in the paper also incorrectly describes rt449 as sod-1 [G85RC]. The correct descriptions are that rt448 is the wild-type control, rt449 is the sod-1 [G93AC] mutant version, and rt451 is the sod-1 [G85RC] mutant version.]

sod-1(rt449[G93A C]) was created by CRISPR editing of the cognate glycine codon in C. elegans sod-1 to create a disease model for human mutation G93A. This strain also contains additional silent edits, and was back-crossed to remove the pha-1 allele used in strain construction. Under normal culture conditions HA2987 animals are superficially wild-type; after stress latent defects are observed.

Superficially wild-type with increased sensitivity to paraquat in multiple assays. Can be maintained 15-25C. rt451 is CRISPR/Cas9 engineered G85R missense mutation in endogenous sod-1 locus mimicking human ALS SOD1 model. Reference: Baskoylu SN, et al.
