umnIs79 [myo-2p::GFP + NeoR, I: 6284001] I. Pick wild-type GFP+ to maintain. Heterozygotes are wild-type GFP+, and segregate wild-type GFP+, DpyUnc, arrested hT1 homozygotes (GFP+), and dead eggs. Maintain by picking wild-type GFP+. Derived by insertion of myo-2p::GFP transgene into hT1 balancer in parental strain KR1037 using CRISPR/Cas9.

umnIs80 [myo-2p::mKate2 + NeoR, I: 6284001] I. Pick wild-type mKate2+ to maintain. Heterozygotes are wild-type mKate2+, and segregate wild-type mKate2+, DpyUnc, arrested hT1 homozygotes (mKate2+), and dead eggs. Maintain by picking wild-type mKate2+. Derived by insertion of myo-2p::mKate transgene into hT1 balancer in parental strain KR1037 using CRISPR/Cas9.

Homozygous lethal mutation balanced by Dpy- and myo-2p::Venus-marked inversion. Heterozygotes are paralyzed Unc and Egl with relatively dim pharyngeal GFP (Venus) expression. Heterozygotes segregate heterozygous non-Dpy GFP+ paralyzed Unc and Egl, non-GFP embryonic lethal (homozygous n499), and Dpy with brighter GFP+ (tmC20 homozygous). This strain is difficult and time consuming to maintain. Gives relatively few heterozygotes. Remove Dpy from plate to prevent them from taking over. Heterozygotes tend to stack up in parallel clumps. Populations can be enriched by transferring these clumps to new plates and allowing Dpy (tmC20 homozygotes) to crawl out into bacterial lawn, and then picking away Dpy or transferring the clump of Hets to another plate. Derived by balancing n499 from parental strain MT1102 over tmC20 from FX30179.

nmIs7 [Cni-mss-1(+) + Cni-mss-2(+) + Cbr-myo-2::GFP + unc-119(+)]. Insertion site of transgene is not known, but it is not in LG III or X.

rjSi1 [cra-1p::cra-1::GFP::cra-1 3'UTR + Cbr-unc-119(+)] II. Single copy insertion. cra-1 promoter, cra-1::GFP and 3'UTR was cloned into pCFJ150 (ttTi5605) vector and inserted into ttTi5605 of EG4322 strain. Outcrossed three times to N2 Bristol; could still carry unc-119(ed9) in the background. Superficially wild-type. This CRA-1::GFP fusion construct has been shown to be functional and its localization reflects endogenous CRA-1 localization. rjSi1 transgene can rescue synapsis defects of cra-1 mutants and restore cross-over events (six bivalents instead of the 11 to 12 univalents characteristic of cra-1 mutants). Brood size and embryonic lethality were significantly, albeit not completely, restored in the rescued line suggesting that the GFP tag might affect other CRA-1 functions. Reference: Gao J, et al.
