Stock IDSD00638
Strain NameIA360
AKAjanC-1 VII
SpeciesT. thermophila
Genetic DescriptionjanC-1/janC-1 (janC-1; janC, VII)
MAC Knockins/outs
MIC Knockins/outs
Gene of InterestJANC (janus C)
OriginGenomic exclusion progeny following two successive generations of outcrossing, the first to B2079-Z-VI and the second to IA264, of a mutant clone resulting from nitroso-guanidine mutagenesis of IA264 in 1985 followed by cytogamy. Sister clone to IA359.

CommentsjanC-1 has a cortical phenotype similar to that of janA, but unlike janA homozygotes, is capable of completing conjugation ( Cole, E.S. and Frankel, J. 1991. Dev. Biol. 148, 420-428)
