WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr14693

• Pattern: A two-color splicing reporter for sad-1 in C. elegans revealed that many neurons express both the skipped and included isoforms. For example, motor neurons in the ventral nerve cord express both isoforms of sad-1. On the other hand, the ALM touch-sensing neuron expresses only the included isoform, while the BDU neuron, which is the sister cell to the ALM neuron, expresses only the skipped isoform.
• Primary Identifier: Expr14693
