WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr14384

• Pattern: We found that in the male germline SET-17::GFP was expressed predominantly in primary spermatocytes. SET-17::GFP was first detectable at the initiation of spermatocyte differentiation in L4 and adult males. The SET-17::GFP level increased with the stage of spermatocyte progression and peaked in late-stage primary spermatocytes.
