WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr10057

• Pattern: lin-4 is abundantly expressed in L1 larvae in many tissues, including muscles, hypodermal cells, and neurons in the head, the tail, the ventral nerve cord, the anterior body, and the mid-body. The lin-4 promoter reporter expression was broader and generally stronger during the L1 stage than in the embryonic stage. The lin-4 promoter reporter was expressed in lateral ganglion neurons (ADL, AWB, AWC, AFD), ventral nerve cord neurons (DA, DB, DD, VD), anterior-body region neurons (SDQR), tail neurons (PQR), touch neurons (AVM, PVM, ALM, PLM), and HSN neurons.
