WS295

Intermine data mining platform for C. elegans and related nematodes

Expression Pattern :

Pattern  The first component of expression consists of much diffuse and nuclear-localised staining which persists from post-comma-stage embryos through to the L2 stage. In young larvae expression is seen in many cells, including hypodermis, intestinal, neuronal and pharyngeal. In older larvae and adults staining is less extensive and is confined to a subset of hypodermal cells of the head and body, the vulC and vulD cells of the vulva, pharyngeal staining, and areas just distal to the uterus (probably the spermathecae). Primary Identifier  Expr136
Remark  Other strains-- UL530, UL531 late embryo(author) = 1.5-fold + 2-fold + 3-fold + fully-elongated embryo(curator). Legacy data: Author "Bauer PK" "Mounsey A" "Hope IA". Date 1999-11.
