expression pattern: Expr4000
Caenorhabditis briggsae Embryonic med transcripts accumulate in the EMS nucleus at the 4-cell stage, become cytoplasmic in MS and E, and are undetectable thereafter. Signal was also observed in the gonads of all adults, with 68% (174/257) showing very strong staining, while very little or no gonadal signal was observed using sense probes. Authors did not detect significant levels of med transcripts in very early embryos or late oocytes.
