• 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: The lin-11-int3p::GFP (pGLC59) transgenic lines that contain the entire intron 3 sequence showed GFP reporter expression in seven neurons at the larval stage L4. These include two sensory neurons (ADL and ADF), four interneurons (AVJ, RIC, AIZ, and RIF) and one pioneer interneuron (AVG). Expression was also detected in embryos. Because some of the lin-11 neurons are specified in the embryo, lin-11::GFP was expected to be expressed in these neurons during their specification. Consistent with this, GFP fluorescence was observed as early as in the pre-gastrula stage in the presumptive head and tail regions. By the 3-fold embryonic stage, fluorescence could be seen in neuronal cells in the anterior region. GFP fluorescence in ADL, ADF and AVJ was very strong and observed in almost all animals. Fluorescence was less frequently observed in RIC and AIZ and was rarely seen in RIF and AVG.

• 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.

• 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.

• Remark: Since these gfp fusions lack the introns and the 3' untranslated region, they might be lacking potential regulatory sequences. In that case, the gfp expression patterns may not precisely represent those of the endogenous kin-8 gene. cam-1 is called kin-8 in this article.

M4 and several pharyngeal neurons. A part of intestine and a few body wall muscles near the head (weak). Distal tip cells (sometimes and weak). A few ventral motor neurons and seam cells (rarely and weak). The expression patterns did not appear to change through the larva to adult stages. Embryonic expression was also observed.

In the head, DKF-2BGFP accumulated in amphid sensory neurons (ASE, AFD, ASG, AWC, and AWA), integrative interneurons (AIM, RIC, AIY, AVF, AVJ, AVK, ADA, and RMG), neurons involved in social feeding and O2 sensing (AUA, URX, PQR, AQR, and BAG), and the neurosecretory motor neuron NSM. DKF-2BGFP also accumulated in PVQ, PVR, and PVW interneurons in the tail. DKF-2BGFP was observed in late embryos, L1 to L4 larvae, and adult animals.

• Primary Identifier: Expr2382
• Pattern: GFP was predominantly expressed in head neurons, a few cells in the tail and hypodermis except for seam cells. A total of 30-50 fluorescent neurons of varying intensities were observed in the head. Stronger or more consistent expression was observed in RMDV, RMD, SMDV, RIB, ASK and probably RMDD and SMDD neurons. Expression in AWC, ASE, AVJ and ASH was sometimes seen. In the tail, DVB and DVC neurons were probably expressing. GFP was also expressed in ventral cord neurons and intestine, typically near the tail. L2 and L3 larvae show extensive expression most notably in head neurons and hypodermis, and the expression is weaker in L4 and adults. Expression is also seen in later embryos.
