	Top 300 transcripts enriched in MC neuron, MCL, MCR according to single cell RNAseq.	Top 300 enriched transcripts were determined by log2.ratio of the tpm in the cell type vs the tpm in the other cells * the log2 of the cell.type tpm.	WBPaper00061340:MC

4 Expression Patterns

• Primary Identifier: Expr15558

• Primary Identifier: Expr15369

• Primary Identifier: Expr3759
• Pattern: ser-7::gfp DNA injected into C. elegans at 0.5-0.05 ng/Ul produced lines that exhibited marked GFP fluorescence in a number of pharyngeal neurons, including the MCs, M4, I2s, I3, M5 and occasionally in the M3s, I4, I6 and M2s. Strong GFP fluorescence was also observed in the vulval muscles.
