Expression Pattern :

Pattern  lin-4 was temporally expressed in the hypodermal seam cells at the early L2 stage and expression persisted in adulthood. Furthermore, the spatial patterning of lin-4 in the hypodermal seam cells correlated with the requirement of this gene at the L1/L2 transition to direct normal seam cell development.lin-4 expression was first observed within the developing gonad at the beginning of L3, specifically in the distal tip cells and the anchor cell of the somatic gonad and expression in the distal tip cells continued in the adult. lin-4 and let-7 were weakly expressed in the anchor cell, which is required for proper vulval patterning, and in the P5.p, P6.p, and P7.p cells that will later differentiate into the mature vulva.
