WS294

Intermine data mining platform for C. elegans and related nematodes

Expression Pattern :

Pattern  Expressed in m1 head muscles, IL2 neurons, FLP neurons, PVD neurons and PVC neurons. Primary Identifier  Expr627
Remark  Both [des-2::gfp] and [des-2::lacZ] show the same pattern. Reporter gene fusion type not specified. Similar expression pattern to deg-3 except for lack of expression in touch receptors. This may be because the des-2 construct lacks intron 8 and 9 and the 3' UTR of des-2 may lack the necessary elements for touch expression. This information was extracted from published material (Archana Sharma-Oates, Andrew Mounsey and Ian A. Hope). Reporter Gene  [des-2::gfp]. gfp construct has a 5kb BamHI-XbaI fragment (from plasmid containing the deg-3 operon) inserted into plasmid pPD95.75. The gfp gene was fused to the intracellular loop of des-2 in this construct.
