| Pattern | GFP showed bright expression in the adult posterior intestinal cells and also very strong expression in a cluster of three to four cells posterior to the intestine. Morphology indicated that these cells possibly included the three rectal gland cells. Rectal gland expression is supported by single cell transcript analysis (Packer, et al. 2019). Additionally, we often saw one or two green cells in or near the bend in the anterior and/or posterior germlines. We observed at least one of these germline-localized cells in ~70% of L4-adult worms, although it is possible that expression was sometimes obscured by the intestine and that this number is higher. These cells looked similar in appearance to the expression in the posterior intestinal cells, but were localized outside of the intestine. Based on their position and appearance, we hypothesize that the expression is in sheath cell nuclei. Although one cell was often bright in appearance, these cells were generally dimmer than the intestinal and posterior extra-intestinal cells. | ||||
