Integration protocol Greenwald & Hobert labs:
Torrex 150D X ray source
- warm up: 5 min. 80 kV, 5 min. 120 kV
- irradiation: 12 min. 150 kV
Irradiate: 100 worms on 20 6cm plates (normal worm plates), i.e. 5 worms per plate.
After irradiation:
- starve worms (on the 20 plates)
- chunk starved worms on fresh plate (i.e. 20 chunks on 20 new plates)
- 1 day later: pick 200-300 transgenic animals (i.e. 15 animals per plate)
- wait for next generation - on average 3-4 of those picked animals will be homozygoused integrants.
Markers successfully used:
