11 Expression Patterns

• Primary Identifier: Expr4850
• Pattern: A-class motor neuron: enriched in embryo (2.6); not expressed in larva. Neuronal expression include: DD, head and tail neurons. Also expressed in other cells: Body muscle, pharyngeal muscle. Pan-neuronal: expressed in embryo; enriched in larva (6.5).

• Primary Identifier: Expr1031755
• Pattern: Tiling arrays expression graphs

• Primary Identifier: Expr1025
• Pattern: Reporter construct is expressed primarily or exclusively in neurons or "endocrine/secretory" cells. GFP expression in non-neuronal tissues include the gut (frequently), specific somatic gonad cells, and in pharyngeal or vulval muscles (rarely). No expression is detected in hypodermal, body wall muscle or germ tissues. nlp-15 is expressed in the neurons with cell body on the lateral surface of the body, the head and tail neurons, VNC, pharyngeal neurons and neurons near the vulva.

• Primary Identifier: Expr1709
• Remark: Transgenic lines were generated by coinjection of the nlp::gfp construct (5070 ng/ul) and lin-15 rescue construct (pJM24,100 ng/ul) into lin-15(n765ts) animals. At least two independent transgenic lines were analyzed for each nlp gene; 510 animals were scored per line. 1,1'-Dioctadecyl-3,3,3',3 -tetramethylindodicarbocyanine perchlorate (Molecular Probes) was used to stain amphid and phasmid neurons to facilitate identification.
• Pattern: Expressed in ASH, CAN, HSN, BDU, 5 head neurons, VNC, 3 RVG neurons, 1 tail neuron, intestine.

• Primary Identifier: Expr15280
• Pattern: A GFP transcriptional reporter for nlp-15 showed expression in both ALA and RIS neurons.

• Primary Identifier: Expr10088
• Remark: Table S1A.
• Pattern: Expressed in AIY.

• Primary Identifier: Expr15916
• Pattern: Out of the 12 promoters, 8 drove expression in the XXX cells at various levels (asic-1, dhs-17, F14H8.2, C06A1.3, asp-9, B0034.5, F52E1.5, and nlp-15), one was impossible to score (T22E5.6) because it also drove high expression in the pharynx located very close to the XXX cells, and three did not show detectable expression in XXX cells (in adults; mab-9, twk-39, and lgc-36).

• 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.
