WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr14445

• Pattern: lep-5 RNA was readily detectable in the tail tip of an L2 male. Co-staining with DAPI indicated that lep-5 RNA is predominantly, if not exclusively, cytoplasmic. Consistent with the broad expression of the transcriptional reporter, lep-5 RNA was also detectable throughout the body, including neuronal ganglia of the head and tail and in the developing male somatic gonad.

The components of the gonad that are separate from the germline proper. In hermaphrodite, these include five tissues which are all derived from the somatic primordium : the distal tip cells, the gonadal sheath, the spermatheca, the spermatheca-uterine valve (sp-ut) and the uterus.	somatic gonad	somatic germline	WBbt:0005785
