WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr2338

• Pattern: Reporter gene expression was observed in many nerve cells in the head ganglia, the nerve cord and in the tail ganglia. Expression was also observed in the pharynx although such expression has been attributed to use of an incomplete promoter fragment as is likely to be the case in this instance. Expression in the male tail was restricted to two nerve cells. The identities of the nerve cells have not been determined.
• Primary Identifier: Expr2338
• Remark: Reporter gene fusion type not specified.
