Maintain by picking wild-type GFP+. Heterozygotes are WT GFP+ and should segregate WT GFP+ heterozygotes, non-GFP gsp-2 homozygotes (embryonic lethal), very rare GFP+ homozygous hT2, and dead eggs. hT2[qIs48] animals are recessive lethal. Note: qIs48 has been observed to recombine off hT2, typically leaving behind a functional homozygous viable hT2 with Bli-4 phenotype. Attribution: This strain was generated by the National Bioresource Project at the Tokyo Women's Medical University School of Medicine, which is part of the International C. elegans Gene Knockout Consortium, which should be acknowledged in any publications resulting from its use.

T24D1.1 Heterozygotes are wild-type and segregate wild-type heterozygotes, unc-55 homozygotes, and sqv-5 homozygotes (sterile, clear, sickly).

Heterozygotes segregate wild-type heterozygotes, Dpy, and sec-5 homozygotes (scrawny, small broods, abnormal gut appearance) sec-5 is homozygous maternal-effect lethal; M+Z- animals produce a few dead L1-L2 stage larvae with Vab defects. Based upon phenotype, pk2357 is a strong loss-of-function, but likely not a null allele; molecular lesion produces a premature stop at position 389. Reference: Frische EW, et al. EMBO J. 2007 Dec 12;26(24):5083-92. [NOTE: This strain was previously described as carrying pk2358, but pk2357 is the correct allele. Both pk2357 and pk2358 cause the same nonsense (amber) change.]
