The earliest
lin-44 transcripts we detected were in the hypl0 and hypll cells at the 1.5-old stage of embryogenesis. Hbridization in the hypl0 and hypll cells was observed through out the rest of embryogenesis. At the 3-fold stage of em- bryogenesis, hybridization was also observed in the other cells of the tail hypodermis,
hyp8 and
hyp9.
