non-Unc hermaphrodite strain. yDp14/+; unc-2 males are 60% inviable. yDp14/yDp14; unc-2 males are dead.

Heterozygotes are WT hermphrodites whose progeny include WT hermaphrodites, Dpy hermaphrodites (mnDp66; yDf13 unc-1 dpy-3), WT males and Dpy males.

The hermaphrodites are variable in phenotype, but most are Dpyish (small) and sick. Pick these hermaphrodites to maintain the strain, since healthier animals may have picked up a suppressor mutation or gone polyploid, etc. Strain gives WT males.

WT hermaphrodites whose progeny include WT hermaphrodites, Dpy hermaphrodites (mnDp66; unc-1 dpy-3), Unc hermaphrodites (yDp14; unc-1 dpy-3), DpyTra hermaphrodites (mnDp66/yDp14; yDf17), WT males, Unc males, and Dpy males. There are 2 types of WT hermaphrodites in this strain which are indistinguishable unless you score their offspring: mnDp66/yDp14; him-8; yDf17/unc-1 dpy-3 animals will have many WT males progeny; but mnDp66/yDp14; him-8; unc-1 dpy-3 animals will have primarily dpy male progeny [mnDp66/yDp14; unc-1 dpy-3 XO animals are mostly dead, but there are some escapers of lethality]. Maintain by picking L4 WT hermaphrodites and checking for correct segregation of progeny.
