WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr8544

• Pattern: In wild-type animals, no obvious expression of sepa-1 could be detected by anti-SEPA-1 antibody in embryos before the 16-cell stage. A few SEPA-1 aggregates were found in ~16-cell stage embryos, and the number of SEPA-1 aggregates was dramatically increased as the embryo developed to ~100-cell stage. As development proceeded, SEPA-1 aggregates disappeared, and only a few cells contained SEPA-1 aggregates by the comma stage. Immunostaining with anti-SEPA-1 antibody showed that SEPA-1 was not present in germline P granules at all embryonic and larval stages.

	The C. elegans life stage spanning 0-350min after first cleavage at 20 Centigrade. Proliferate from 1 cell to 560 cells. From start of first cleavage until cleavage is over.		proliferating embryo Ce	WBls:0000004
	The C. elegans life stage spanning 390-420min after first cleavage at 20 Centigrade. Cell number remains at ~560 cells, with some new cells generated and some cells go through programmed cell death. The shape of embryo looks like a comma. A stage between bean embryo and 1.5-fold embryo.		comma embryo Ce	WBls:0000017
	The C. elegans life stage spanning 350-390min after first cleavage at 20 Centigrade. Cell number remains at ~560 cells, with some new cells generated and some cells go through programmed cell death. Emrbyo elongation started but have not formed comma shape yet. The shape of embryo looks like a lima bean. A stage right before comma embryo. Also called lima embryo or lima bean stage.		bean embryo Ce	WBls:0000016
