Stock ID | SD00630 |
Strain Name | IA220 |
AKA | janA-1 II |
Species | T. thermophila |
Genetic Description | janA-1/janA-1; eja1-1/eja1-1; chx1-1/chx1-1 (janA-1; eja1-1; chx1-1; janA, eja1, cy-r, II) |
MAC Knockins/outs | |
MIC Knockins/outs | |
Gene of Interest | JANA (janus A) (originally reported as jan); EJA1 (enhancer of janus A) (originally reported as eja, "enhancer of janus"). |
Origin | The original janA clone was obtained by genetic rescue of a clone selected in 1976 by Bruns and Sanford (PNAS 75: 3355-3358) using nitrosoguanidine mutagenesis followed by short-circuit genomic exclusion. The derivation of IA220 included four generations of outcrossing of the original janA clone , the first two described by Frankel & Jenkins (1979) and the latter two by Frankel et al. (1984), which also describes the discovery and verification of eja1-1. |

Comments | A mutation that causes the dorsal cell surface to be converted to a partial mirror-image of the ventral surface and also brings about conjugal blockage. eja1-1 is referred to as "eja" in publications starting with Frankel et al. (1984) R.A. Dev. Biol. 194: 107-120, except where it was mistakenly designated as "enj" in some papers published after 1984. |
