• Remark: Picture: Fig. 3A, B, C, D.
• Pattern: In the transgenic animals carrying crm-1a::gfp reporter, consistent signals were detected in neurons in the ventral nerve cord. By the positions and clustering of the cell body as well as the axonal outgrowth along the ventral nerve cord, crm-1a is found to be expressed in the DA neurons 2 to 7, the DB neurons 3 to 7 and additional neurons in the VA, VB and AS classes along the nerve cord (VNC). Expression was also observed in neurons around the pharynx. In the male tail, gfp signals in the RnA neuronal cells of sensory rays 2 and 4 and the PVR neuron with the entire axonal process along the VNC were also observed.
• Subcellular Localization: Entire axonal process of PVR along the VNC.

• Pattern: 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.

• Pattern: eat-4 is expressed in 78 of the 302 neurons of the adult hermaphrodite, which fall into 38 neuron classes (out of a total of 118 anatomically defined neuron classes in the hermaphrodite). Most of these neurons are either sensory- or interneurons. Only two motorneurons utilize glutamate; both are located in the pharynx.

• Remark: This information was extracted from published material (Archana Sharma-Oates, Andrew Mounsey and Ian A. Hope).
• Pattern: Staining is seen in a set of 47 nuclei in fixed newly hatched first larval stage (L1). All stained cells are neurons. Hermaphrodite express in cells. RIH, RIR, PVR, IL2L/R, URYVL/R, RIPL/R, AIZL/R, FLPL/R, ADAL/R, RMGL/R, BPUL/R, PLML/R, ALML/R, ALNL/R, HSNL/R, URBL/R, NSML/R, URADL/R, IL2DL/R, I2L/R, IL2VL/R, URAVL/R, URXL/R, AIML/R, URYDL/R, PQR, PVM, SDQL/R, PVDL/R, PHCL/R, PLNL/R. Male cells express as in hermaphrodite except for HSNL/R which die, and show expression in CEMDL/R, CEMVL/R which die in hermaphrodites. Expression pattern is first determined in the Q lineage. Once expression has been initiated in a cell, it is maintained by that cell and all of its descendants in all cases except for SDQ.

• Pattern: ASG and BAG sensory neurons; RIG interneurons; PVC, PVR, PVQ interneurons; additional neurons.

• Primary Identifier: Expr3310
• Pattern: Expression was detected first in neuronal precursor cells at the comma stage. Slightly later strong expression was found in the hypodermal cells. In newly hatched L1 larvae this construct continued to be expressed in neuronal cells in the head and tail, in cells of the ventral nerve cord and of the pharynx. During the early L1 stage hypodermal expression disappeared. The GFP-positive neurons in animals carrying pT14G10.2::GFP-II were identified as the RMDD, RMD, RMDV, SMDD, and SMDV, which are ring motoneurons. Also the more posteriorly located BDU cells and the ALN, PVR, and PVT cells in the tail expressed GFP. Analysis of synchronized worms showed that GFP is present around the time of molting, but is barely detectable during part of the intermolts or in adults. During the outgrowth of the gonadal primordium expression was seen in the distal tip cell and oviduct sheath cells.

• Primary Identifier: Expr1261
• Pattern: Expressed in a subset of neurons in the pharynx and in the extrapharyngeal nervous system. Expression was also noticed in intestine cells(int1-int9). In the pharynx, eat-4 was found to be expressed in M3, NSM neurons, and possibly I5, but not in muscle. Clear and consistent eat-4 reporter expression was found in 15 different anatomical types. ADA, ALM, ASH, ASK, AUA, and AVJ or AIN, AVM, FLP, IL1, LUA, OLL, OLQ, PLM, PVD, and PVR.

• Remark: Picture: Fig 3.
• Pattern: Expression in the alimentary canal: Strong and consistent expression in anterior arcades, posterior arcades. Weak or rare expression in pm2, pm3, pm4, pm5, pm6, pm7, pm8, mc1, g1, g2, rectal gland cells, rectal epithelial cells. Expression in the nervous system: Phsh, AVK, DVC (early larva), PVR, SIB (early larva), URB, I3. Expression in the reproductive system: In adult stage, expressed in gonad sheath, uterus, vulval muscle. In developing larva stage, expressed in vulva. Neuronal expression of inx-9 appears around three-fold stage. The rectal gland expresses inx-9 during early larval stages. inx-9 is expressed in adult hermaphrodite sex muscles. inx-9 was expressed at high levels in arcade cells starting around two-fold stage continuing throughout development and adulthood.

• Primary Identifier: Expr8671
• Remark: Picture: Fig 3.
• Pattern: Expression in the alimentary canal: Strong and consistent expression in pharyngeal epithelium, pm5, pm6, pm7, pm8, g2, rectal gland cells. Weak or rare expression in anterior arcades, posterior arcades, pm2, pm3, pm4, M3, MC, intestine, rectal epithelial cells. Expression in the nervous system: CEPsh, ALN, ASn, CAN, DAn, DBn, DDn, DVA, DVB, HSN, PDE, PLM, PVQ, PVR, PVT, URB, VAn, VBn, VDn, M3, MC. Expression in the reproductive system: In adult stage, expressed in spermatheca, vulval muscle, HSN. In developing larva stage, expressed in vulval muscle, uterine muscle, HSN. inx-3 was expressed broadly during early embryogenesis. After the beginning of morphogenesis, inx-3 expression becomes more restricted to the pharynx, hypodermis, and intestine. By three-fold stage inx-3 expression appears in ventral cord motor neurons (strongest in DA neurons) along with continued strong pharyngeal expression. By hatching, its hypodermal expression disappears, while postembryonically born ventral cord motor neurons express it at low levels. Its pharyngeal (strong) and neuronal (faint) expressions continue to adulthood.

• Primary Identifier: Expr8676
• Remark: Picture: Fig 3.
• Pattern: Expression in the alimentary canal: Strong and consistent expression in pm1, pm3. Weak or rare expression in pharyngeal epithelium, pm2, pm4, pm5, pm6, pm7, pm8, intestine, rectal epithelial cells. Expression in the nervous system: ILso, AIN, AVF, AVJ, AVK, PVR, SAB. Expression in the reproductive system: In adult stage, expressed in Gonad sheath, Vulva(low), vulval muscle, uterine muscle. In developing larva stage, expressed in vulval muscle, uterine muscle. inx-8 is expressed broadly, albeit at very low levels, around two-fold stage, and its expression becomes stronger in the pharynx, nervous tissue, HMC, and GLR cells as development continues. In the reproductive system, expression of inx-8 starts during early larval stages and continues during migrations of the great granddaughters of the SM blast cell to their final locations and after the sex muscles achieve their final structures. inx-8 is expressed in the hypodermal cells of the animal in postembryonic stages.

• Primary Identifier: Expr9584
• Pattern: hlh-14 is first expressed at the AB64-cell stage. hlh-14 expression appears to persist longer in posterior parts of the ABalppp/praaa lineage than in anterior parts. In the ASE branch, located at the posterior part of the lineage, hlh-14 expression is maintained throughout the lineage until shortly before the terminal division of the ASE neurons. In addition to its expression in the ASE lineage, it was observed by 4Dlineage analysis that the hlh-14 fosmid reporter is expressed in several other neuronal lineages. In some instances this expression is bilaterally symmetric, such as in the neuroblasts that give rise to the L/R bilaterally symmetric PLM/ALN neuronal pairs, PVQ/HSN/ PHB neuron pairs and the ALM/BDU neuron pairs. Surprisingly, in other instances this expression is L/R asymmetric, such as in neuroblasts of the C lineage. We observe asymmetric expression in two asymmetrically generated neuroblasts, the Caapa neuroblast that gives rise to the DVC neuron and a cell death, and the Caappv cell, which differentiates into the neuron PVR. The bilateral homologs of these hlh-14-expressing neuroblasts are non-neuronal hypodermal cells. Intriguingly, we also observe expression in the bilaterally symmetric neuroblasts that produce a pair of pharyngeal interneurons known as I1L/I1R. Finally, we observe later expression of hlh-14 in currently unidentified lineages, at a time in which all terminally differentiated cells present at hatching are already formed.

• Primary Identifier: Expr1056
• Remark: Reporter gene fusion type not specified. late embryo(author) = fully-elongated embryo (wjc)
• Pattern: GFP expression in the anterior was observed in the sensory neurons AFDL/R, in the interneurons BDUL/R, and in the asymmetrical interneuron ALA. The expression pattern of the GFP constructs was continuous from the late embryonic through all larval stages and maintained in adults. Both constructs show the same expression pattern. Larval and adult expression of CEH-14 protein in AFDL/R and BDUL/R was confirmed by immunolocalization using the CEH-14-specific antiserum. One additional cell expressing CEH-14 was observed in the head, at a location consistent with that for ALA. The staining was always nuclear. In the tail region, ceh-14 is expressed in PVT, PVQL/R, DVC, PVNL/R, PVWL/R, PVR, PHCL/R, PHAL/R, and PHBL/R.
• Subcellular Localization: Always expressed in nuclei.
