WS294

Intermine data mining platform for C. elegans and related nematodes

Expression Pattern :

Pattern  Transformed progeny expressed the slo-2:GFP fusion protein in many tissues including body-wall and vulva muscle (and possibly in pharyngeal muscle), processes of the nerve ring, and in some motor neurons. Primary Identifier  Expr1097
Remark  This construct, lacking the slo-2 initiator methionine and upstream promoter, was co-injected together with the F08B12 cosmid containing the entire slo-2 gene and its promoter into the syncitial gonad of adult hermaphrodite N2 nematodes. Recombination between the slo-2:GFP construct and the cosmid was necessary for slo-2:GFP gene expression, and was enhanced by linearization of the slo-2:GFP segment and the cosmid at appropriate sites31. Control injections with the slo-2:GFP segment alone produced no GFP signal.
