    Expr14590 Embryonic expression of exc-7 was first observed at the bean stage. By reverse lineaging with use of SIMI-Biocell software, we confirm the identity of one of the expressing cells at this stage as the excretory canal cell. In L1 animals, broad expression in the head, ventral nerve cord (VNC), and tail was observed. In young adults, expression is notably observed in vulva cells. In the nervous system specifically, expression is observed in many neurons throughout the body, but unlike Drosophila Elav, exc-7::gfp it is not panneuronally expressed. We confirmed previously reported expression in cholinergic VNC MNs, but absence of GABAergic VNC MNs, consistent with previous reports (Fujita et al., 1999; Loria et al., 2003) and consistent with exc-7 functioning in cholinergic, but not GABAergic neurons to control alternative splicing (Norris et al., 2014). exc-7::gfp is also expressed in some non-neuronal cell types, including muscle and hypodermis, but not in the gut. A previous report showed that exc-7 is only transiently and weakly expressed in the excretory cell, which, based on exc-7's excretory mutant phenotype, has puzzled researchers (Fujita et al., 2003). We find that the gfp tagged exc-7 locus is strongly and continuously expressed in the excretory canal cell.

    Expr1842 Staining embryos with this anti-VAB-7 antibody confirmed that VAB-7 is expressed in posterior muscle and epidermal cells. However, a second phase of VAB-7 expression was discovered in embryonic ventral nerve cord (VNC) neurones, beginning at the 1.5-fold stage. At the threefold stage VAB-7 is expressed in nine neuronal nuclei (seven in the VNC and two nuclei in the head), and in the five most posterior epidermal nuclei, which form the hyp8 to hyp11 cells. VAB-7 is expressed in the seven DB class motoneurones; VAB-7 staining is also seen in two additional head neurones that have not been identified. DB neurones express VAB-7 throughout development. In addition, VAB-7 is expressed continuously in the hypodermal syncitium hyp10, and from the L1 stage in four unidentified neurones in the tail. Finally, at the adult stage, VAB-7 is detected in three VC neurones: VC1, VC2 and VC6. nuclei

Reporter gene fusion type not specified. This information was extracted from published material (Archana Sharma-Oates, Andrew Mounsey and Ian A. Hope).   Expr626 First detected prior to hatching, staying constant in most cells throughout the larval and adult stages. Expression seen predominantly in neurons, ventral nerve cord, DA, DB, VA, and VB class-set throughout the entire length of the cord and several pharyngeal neurons. Cytoplasmic expression is also seen in the dorsal cord, in the processes of DA3-7, DB1-7, PDB. Also in pair of unidentified neurons of lateral ganglia. In the male tail, expression is detected in the DVA neuron and the glial cells (Balpha.1/rd and Bgammapl/r)that form the socket for the spicule starting at the L4 stage.  
    Expr15183 We examined cnd-1p::mCherry expression in early L1 larvae, within an hour of hatching, counting nuclei in the retrovesicular ganglion and also the ventral nerve cord. The retrovesicular ganglion is a linear cluster of cells located on the ventral midline of the worm immediately posterior to the pharynx, and contains the anterior most DA, DB and DD motorneurons (DA1, DB1, DB2 and DD1), along with eight additional cells. Wild type animals showed an average of nine cnd-1p::mCherry nuclei in the retrovesicular ganglion and 10 in theventral nerve cord (n = 26). As there are 22 motorneurons in early L1 larvae, this suggests that only a subset express the cnd-1 reporter gene. Based on their location along the ventral nerve cord, co-labeling with unc-25p::GFP (a known DD neuron marker), and by corroborating against single cell RNA-seq expression data (Packer et al. 2019), we tentatively conclude that cnd-1p::mCherry is expressed in DA1-5, DB1, DB3, and DD1-6.
