WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr12771

• Pattern: Expression of transcriptional ttbk-3-7 fusion genes was weak and variable, but was observed primarily in neurons, including subsets of sensory neurons in the amphid sense organs of the head. In particular, ttbk-3, ttbk-4 and ttbk-5 transcriptional fusion genes were expressed in either or both of the pheromone-sensing ASK and ASI sensory neurons. Additional expressing neurons could not be reliably identified due to variable and weak expression of these reporter genes.
• Primary Identifier: Expr12771
• Remark: From correspondence with author, clarifying text: ttbk-5 -> ASI + other amphids
