Myo-2 GFP CRISPR Help

As a part of migration from the Worm Community Forum, this post was manually created on behalf of the user jac.jacs; when they join the forum here, they can claim this post.

We are planning to use CRISPR to integrate GFP into myo-2 in C. briggsae. Has anyone successfully tagged myo-2 with CRISPR in Caenorhabditis? Is there a preferred plasmid that will make healthy, bright worms?

Any tips or tricks would be appreciated! Thanks.

we created a dual-marker cassette containing both a reporter expressing green fluorescent protein (GFP) in the pharynx (Pmyo-2::GFP::unc-54 3′UTR) and a neomycin resistance transgene (Prps-27::neoR::unc-54 3′UTR). These two marker transgenes were flanked with loxP sites and two restriction enzyme sites for convenient insertion of homology arms of interest (Figure 1B).
