We have released information for 236 endogenously GFP-tagged Caenorhabditis elegans strains in WormTagDB, a community resource for endogenously tagged worm strains. With this contribution, our laboratory is now the second-largest contributor of tagged alleles in the database. Notably, approximately 150 of the genes in our collection had not previously been tagged, making this a substantial contribution toward expanding proteome-wide fluorescent tagging resources in C. elegans.
The strains were generated as part of our efforts to systematically visualize protein expression and localization during embryonic development. We plan to continue expanding the collection and developing associated imaging resources.
