Intermine data mining platform for C. elegans and related nematodes

Expression Pattern :

Pattern  Expression of the established daf-7 promoter-GFP transcriptional reporter ksIs2 was detected in multiple developing neurons in comma-stage embryos, as well as in several neurons in 3-fold embryos. Importantly, accumulation of secreted mCherry::DAF-7 protein was detected in the extraembryonic fluid at the same embryonic stages as the SMAD::GFP fluorescence, suggesting that DAF-7 activity may have a physiological role in the early embryos. We also detected pharyngeal expression and localization to coelomocytes in 3-fold embryos. Primary Identifier  Expr13310

  The C. elegans life stage spanning 390-420min after first cleavage at 20 Centigrade. Cell number remains at ~560 cells, with some new cells generated and some cells go through programmed cell death. The shape of embryo looks like a comma. A stage between bean embryo and 1.5-fold embryo. comma embryo Ce WBls:0000017
  The C. elegans life stage spanning 520-620min after first cleavage at 20 Centigrade. Cell number remains at ~560 cells, with some new cells generated and some cells go through programmed cell death. The shape of embryo is elongated and tripple fold. A stage between 2-fold embryo and fully-elongated embryo. Also called pretzel embryo or pretzel stage. 3-fold embryo Ce WBls:0000020
