Homozygous sterile deletion balanced by tmC9 [F36H1.2(tmIs1221[myo-2p::Venus])]. Heterozygotes are wild-type Venus+ in pharynx, and segregate wild-type Venus+ heterozygotes, non-Venus Sterile (tm6688 homozygotes), and Venus+ Mec Unc (tmC9 homozygotes). Pick viable fertile Venus+ animals and check for correct segregation of progeny to maintain.

Homozygous lethal deletion balanced by tmC9 [F36H1.2(tmIs1221[myo-2p::Venus])]. Heterozygotes are wild-type Venus+ in pharynx, and segregate wild-type Venus+ heterozygotes, non-Venus Sterile (tm15993 homozygotes), and Venus+ Mec Unc (tmC9 homozygotes). Pick viable fertile Venus+ animals and check for correct segregation of progeny to maintain. 93% of tm15993 homozygotes die before adulthood and those that escape are sterile.
