9 Expression Patterns

• Primary Identifier: Expr4237
• Remark: The expression pattern appeared strong and very specific, suggesting that it could be relied upon as an accurate reflection of the endogenous gene.
• Pattern: The -galactosidase expression was observed in adults only, in body wall and vulval muscle cells.

• Primary Identifier: Expr4238
• Remark: No GO_term assigned.
• Pattern: Both gfp and cfp fusions generated by fosmid recombineering drove body wall muscle expression. In addition to the muscle cells, GFP was seen throughout the pseudocoelom and in the six coelomocytes, but again only in adults. These components were even stronger for CFP. The abundant pseudocoelomic fluorescence made it difficult to discern the muscle cell component and, hence, it is unclear if expression also occurs in vulval muscle cells as observed with the lacZ fusion.
• Subcellular Localization: The fluorescent fusion proteins were not nuclear-localized, but were observed in striations.

• Primary Identifier: Expr1030831
• Pattern: Tiling arrays expression graphs

• Primary Identifier: Expr1
• Pattern: Body wall muscle cells and vulval muscle cells of adult hermaphrodites. Beta-galactosidase is nuclear localized

• Primary Identifier: Expr2011422
• Pattern: Single cell embryonic expression. Only cell types with an expression fraction of greater 0.2 of the maximum expressed fraction are labeled (Full data can be downloaded from http://caltech.wormbase.org/pub/wormbase/datasets-published/packer2019/). The colors represent the broad cell class to which the cell type has been assigned. The size of the point is proportional to the log2 of the numbers of cells in the dataset of that cell type. Interactive visualizations are available as a web app (https://cello.shinyapps.io/celegans/) and can also be installed as an R package (https://github.com/qinzhu/VisCello.celegans).

• Remark: Type: RT-PCR. sqRT-PCR, using RNA isolated from embryos, L1, L2, L3, and L4 larvae, young adult hermaphrodites, and mixed-stage him-8 mutants that give rise to male-enriched cultures. Transcript levels are presented relative to that of a control transcript, ama-1.
• Pattern: Intermediate expression (0.5-1.0X of control ama-1 expression): embryo, L2 larva. Strong expression (>1.0X of control ama-1 expression): L3 larva, L4 larva, adult hermaphrodite, adult male. Weak expression (<0.5X of control ama-1 expression): L1 larva
