The egl-27 reporter is expressed in the Y cell in the 1.5-fold embryonic stage as well as during the L1 larval stage, which precedes the initiation of Y transdifferentiation.
wdr-5.1 was nuclear-localized in Y/PDA throughout transdifferentiation.In some cases faint additional WDR-5.1::GFP staining was observed in the cytoplasm.
