WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr14863

• Pattern: At the early L1 larval stage, unc-40 expression was detected in the nerve ring and the Q neuroblasts. We found that the number of unc-40 mRNA spots was similar in QL and QR, with a positive correlation between spot abundance and migration distance (QL, r = 0.4081, p < 0.0022, QR, r = -0.2838, p < 0.0324), indicating that unc-40 is symmetrically expressed in the two lineages, and that expression increases during the polarization and migration process.
