Intermine data mining platform for C. elegans and related nematodes

Expression Pattern :

Pattern  Endogenously-tagged short mec-2B isoform is also detectable in touch neurons, with a similar punctate expression. In agreement with our transgenic MEC-2B::GFP overexpression results, we find endogenous short isoform MEC-2B::RFP expressed abundantly in many head and tail neurons in addition to touch neurons.
