Strain Genotype Species Description
FT422 unc-119(ed3) III; xnIs178. C. elegans xnIs178 [mCherry::pac-1 + unc-119(+)]. Translational fusion to PAC-1. mCherry::PAC-1 is expressed in pharyngeal muscle cells (mostly apical, some basal), a few cells in the vulva, maternally in early embryos at cell contacts, and at adherens junctions in late embryogenesis. Maternal expression is difficult to detect by eye but visible with longer camera exposure. Reference: Anderson DC, et al. Science 2008: 320: 1771-1774.
