This strain expressing two fusion proteins tagged to a different fluorescent protein was generated by a cross of pf14::RSP3-NeonGreen and armc2::ARMC2-Sca. It was selected for motility and fluorescence of both mNeonGreen and mScarlet-I. Bright fluorescence suggests that the transgenes were expressed in pf14 armc2.

This strain was obtained by mating oda3 oda6::IC2-NG and ift20::IFT20-mCherry. The outer dynein arms (ODAs) are tagged on the essential IC2 subunits with mNeonGreen and IFT is visible by IFT20-mCherry expression. ODAs do not assemble in cilia due to the absence of the docking complex in oda3. This allows imaging of ODA transport and IFT.

Origin: CRISPR mediated endogenous n-terminal mNeonGreen with introns + c-terminal mScarlet-I knock-in

Proof of concept strain for serially tagging the same gene on both termini. IFT content in this strain is reduced in quantity but present. Resistant to Paromomycin and Blasticidin S.

Background: CC-124 32M

Origin: Co-targeted CRISPR mediated endogenous c-terminal mScarletI + DRC4::AphVIII insertion

Proof of concept strain for cotargeted genome editing with the possibility of crossing out the resistance marker in a second step. See CC-6015 for crossed out non-resistance IFT46-mScarletI progeny. Resistant to Paromomycin.

Background: CC-124/CC-125

Origin: Back-cross of CC-6014 to CC-125 to restore wild-type DRC4 function and remove the AphVIII resistance marker previously used for selection

Proof of concept strain for cotargeted genome editing with the possibility of crossing out the resistance marker. See CC-6014 for original CRISPR strain with disrupted DRC4 gene. No antibiotic resistance present.
