WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr2804

• Pattern: NAS-7::GFP staining was observed only in the head of adult hermaphrodites, but not within pharynx cells. The expressing cells are located outside of the pharynx, around the metacarpus and the terminal bulb, and could include neurons, cells of the excretory system or gland cells of still unknown functions. Reporter gene expression also became detectable in the embryo before hatching.
• Primary Identifier: Expr2804

	The stage that begins when a C.elegans individual is fully-developed and has reached maturity.		adult Ce	WBls:0000041
	The C. elegans life stage spanning 620-800min(hatch) 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. A stage after elongation is over. The last stage of embryogenesis. Also called pre-hatched embryo, late embryo or morphogenetic embryo.		fully-elongated embryo Ce	WBls:0000021
