Variation Information: q388

Strains carrying this variation

Strain	Genotype	Species	Description
EJ1158	gon-2(q388) I.	C. elegans	NOTE: Supplement media to 50 mM Mg2+ and grow at 15C for maximum fertility. Temperature-sensitive failure of gonad precursor divisions. Penetrance of Gon phenotype is high at 23.5C. At 25 degrees you can expect reduced brood sizes and some embryonic lethality. [Note: temperature sensitive period for gon-2(q388) begins prior to fertilization.] Reference: Sun AY & Lambie EJ. Genetics. 1997 Nov;147(3):1077-89.
EJ1171	gon-2(q388) I; gem-1(bc364) X.	C. elegans	NOTE: Supplement media to 50 mM Mg2+ and grow at 15C for maximum fertility. The stock will propagate on non-supplemented media at 20 degrees, but this will potentially select for intragenic revertants of gon-2(q388). Temperature-sensitive failure of gonad precursor divisions. Penetrance of Gon phenotype is very high at 23.5C. At 25 degrees you can expect reduced brood sizes and some embryonic lethality. [Note: temperature sensitive period for gon-2(q388) begins prior to fertilization.] bc364 deletes 1,109 bp between AACATCTTGAATAACCATTCGGGAAGT and AAGTCATTCATTGCAGAGCTTACATTTAGTA.
