I would like to be able to do crosses with some existing strains used as
females.  These strains have no markers that will allow me to identify
hermaphrodite cross progeny.  Are there any dominant markers that I could
introduce into my male strain that I can use to let me identify cross
progeny.
One suggestion that I have already gotten is a lin-12 dominant allele.  However,
the hermaphrodites that result will be vul, which is not the most convenient for
me.  If anyone knows of a dominant marker that allows males to mate, e-mail
it to me.  I will post a summary of the results.
