WS295

Intermine data mining platform for C. elegans and related nematodes

Expression Pattern :

Pattern  The C+C enhancer (pOK17.21) activates frequent expression in all pharyngeal muscles. the C+C enhancer also activates expression in non-muscle cells in the pharynx. Expression induced by the C+C enhancer was observed in all pharyngeal cell types including gland cells, neurons and marginal cells as well as muscles. These results define C as an organ-specific subelement. Primary Identifier  Expr11414
Remark  Feature : "myo-2.C"
