Somatic expression of an mCherry::H2B transcriptional reporter (the histone fusion used to focus diffuse, low level cytoplasmic GFP expression to the nucleus) under the control of the
gld-1 promoter and the
gld-1 3'UTR was mainly localized to the head, tail and ventral side of the animals. DIC microscopy analysis indicates that most of the positive cells are neuronal cells in the head and tail ganglia and the ventral nerve cord.
