WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr12966

• Pattern: ets-4 showed pan-germline expression. Reporter expression was observed in the distal region of the germline, in mitotic progenitor cells, as well as in the syncytial region, in the germline bend, in oocytes, and in embryos. ets-4 reporter expression remained strong in sperm (n=12/23), suggesting that at least some 3'UTRs can direct retention of sperm specific expression.
• Primary Identifier: Expr12966
