Depositor Comments

Use for puromycin selection of transgenes in C. elegans and related species if transgene has a visual phenotype and Pmyo-2::mCherry expression is undesirable.
The unc-119 gene in pCG150 was replaced by the Prpl-28::PuroR::let-858_3'UTR cassette for puromycin selection in worms.
This is a Gateway 3-fragment compatible destination vector.
It contains AttR4 and AttR3 sites (not AttR1 and AttR2 sites as identified automatically by the Addgene algorithm).
