WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr16487

• Pattern: fkh-8::GFP fosmid expression at young adult stage is detected in all ciliated sensory neurons, as assessed by co-localization with the ift-20 core ciliome reporter. Three non-ciliated neurons, PVD, VC4 and VC5 show FKH-8 expression, while no expression is detected in non-neuronal tissues. C. elegans male nervous system contains additional ciliated sensory neurons, mostly in the tail, which also express FKH-8.During embryonic development, there is a similar overlap between FKH-8 and ift-20 reporters.
