WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr12670

• Pattern: egl-8 is expressed in the vas deferens, spicule protractor muscles, diagonal muscles and a male-specific neuron that is probably CP8 or CP9 and is also widely expressed in the nervous system, as expected from previous work (Lackner et al., 1999; Miller et al., 1999).
• Primary Identifier: Expr12670
