WormMine

WS295

Intermine data mining platform for C. elegans and related nematodes

Expression Pattern :

Pattern  SPC-1/α is prominently expressed in both the spermatheca and SP-UT valvebeginning in L4 and extending into adulthood. In adults, SPC-1/α is also faintly expressed in the sheath. Primary Identifier  Expr13841
Reporter Gene  Strain COP1720 expressing spc-1::degron::mKate2 at the endogenous locus was generated by NemaMatrix (Eugene, OR, USA), characterized by genomic sequencing, and generously provided by the Zaidel-Bar Lab (Tel-Aviv University, Tel-Aviv, Israel).
