WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr13990

• Pattern: In the posterior pharyngeal bulb gfp::hum-7 is expressed throughout, including the pm6 and pm7 cells that help the grinder contract during feeding (Worm Atlas), while hmr-1::mKate2 is enriched only in apical regions, as expected. hmr-1::mKate2 is expressed all through the nerve ring axons, while gfp::hum-7 is expressed in adjacent cells, perhaps glia. Viewing this same strain on the surface shows that while hmr- 1::mKate2 is highly expressed in the seam cells, gfp::hum-7 shows no obvious overlap in the seam cells.
