In
hlh-8(
tm726) animals,
egl-15::gfp was expressed in the vms in 15% of the animals (n = 131). In wild-type animals,
egl-15::gfp continued to express for at least 2 days of adulthood (n = 32). However, of the
hlh-8(i) animals that did express the construct, the gfp prematurely turned off in 74% of those animals (n = 19).
