WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr9222

• Pattern: let-418p::Venus is strongly expressed in most if not all cells of the embryo. In young adults, let-418 transgene was primarily expressed in the head, the vulva, the tail, the ventral nerve cord and the distal tip cells. The let-418p::Venus construct was expressed in cells surrounding the pharynx, and strongly expressed the 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
