WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr2450

• Pattern: A single transcript of the predicted size was detected at eightfold higher abundance in early embryos than in subsequent embryonic and larval stages. Strong expression in adult hermaphrodites was confined to the germline and developing embryos, as shown by the high level of hybridization to RNA from fem-2(b245) adult hermaphrodites, which produce oocytes but no embryos, compared to the background levels of hybridization to RNA from glp-4(bn2) adult hermaphrodites, which lack the germline almost entirely.
