WormMine: ExpressionPattern 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: Expr4345
