Several people have succesfully used C33C3 for mosaic analysis.  Lelani
Miller in Stuart Kims lab has used it for lin-31, and mpk-1.  The lin-31
paper describing the technique and the rescue of ncl-1 will be submitted
to Genetics soon  look for Miller, Waring and Kim.  If you need the DNA I
can send it to you.  You may want to contact Lelani, I think she might
have some tips.
