• Remark: Picture: Figure S1.
• Pattern: Expressed in head neurons, ventral-cord motor neurons, body-wall muscle, vulval muscle, stomatointestinal muscle, anal-depressor muscle, tail neurons, etc.

• Primary Identifier: Expr4767
• Pattern: Young embryos did not present a GFP signal, but expression was observed in late embryogenesis and at all stages of postnatal development: eggs, L1, L2, L3, L4, and adults. Adult animals showed stronger expression than did larval stages and eggs; this was also proved by RT-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), suggesting potential developmental dynamics in atx-3 function. Both transgenic strains had a generalized expression pattern, with a strong signal in the spermatheca and vulval muscle . High fluorescence was observed in neuronal dorsal and ventral cord and neurons of the head and tail. Expression was also observed in the hypoderm, body muscles, and coelomocytes.

• Primary Identifier: Expr4727
• Pattern: Intestine, tail neurons.

• Primary Identifier: Expr4717
• Pattern: Intestine, head and tail neurons.

• Primary Identifier: Expr4938
• Pattern: strong head and tail bwm, vul, head and tail neurons, VNC (subset of neurons?), no embryonic seen

• Primary Identifier: Expr4936
• Pattern: strong pharyngeal muscle, tail and head neurons, strong bean and later embryonic bwm?; strong GFP emb/Ls are lumpy dumpy or worse

• Primary Identifier: Expr4382
• Pattern: Expressed in AVA, RIB, RID, SIB, SMD, CEP(?), ADE(?), some unidentified neurons in the head and tail. Also expressed in anal depressor, head muscles (strong), body wall muscles (strong).

• Primary Identifier: Expr4348
• Pattern: ODR-2::HA was observed on cell surfaces in the nervous system. The protein was found on the cell bodies of many neurons in the head and tail, on many neuronal processes running along the major (dorsal and ventral) nerve cords, and on the surface of numerous sublateral nerve cords and circumferential commissures.
• Subcellular Localization: ODR-2 appeared to be evenly distributed on the surface of neuronal processes, i.e. not in a clustered fashion, even though varicosities along neuronal processes were clearly visible.

• Primary Identifier: Expr4349
• Pattern: Transgenic animals carrying this construct show GFP fluorescence in a variety of cells, with robust expression in the pharyngeal muscle. GFP expression was also observed in many neurons, including specific subsets in the head, pharynx, ventral nerve cord and anal ganglia.

• Primary Identifier: Expr4342
• Pattern: In first stage larvae (L1) of both sexes, ceh-22b::VENUS expression was not detected in SGPs(somatic gonadal precursor) at hatching, but became visible midway through the first larval stage (L1). After the SGP divided, the intensity of the reporter began to increase in distal SGP daughters (Z1.a and Z4.p) and began to diminish from proximal SGP daughters (Z1.p and Z4.a). In hermaphrodites, both progeny of the distal SGP daughter retained robust ceh-22b::VENUS expression through L2 or early L3. In males, the distal SGP daughter, which does not divide further, retained strong expression until L3; the expression decreased during L4. The ceh-22b::VENUS reporter was also expressed in the pharynx, intestine, and ventral nerve cord as well as in unidentified neurons in the head and tail. Expression in the pharynx and intestine was sustained throughout larval development into adulthood; expression in the ventral nerve cord was visible until L3.

• Primary Identifier: Expr4345
• Pattern: GFP expression is nearly ubiquitous in the early embryo. At early comma stage expression becomes intensely focused in the anterior of the embryo. Strong expression is observed from the pharynx and some unidentified head neurons beginning around the 1.5-fold stage. After hatching, GFP expression is present in the ALM and PLM neurons. Beginning in late L1 stages expression comes on in the PVD neurons and some time later in the AVM. No significant expression of GFP was observed in ventral cord commissural motoneurons.

• Primary Identifier: Expr4334
• Pattern: Expressed in head and tail neurons.
