Abstract excerpt
We describe the molecular characterisation of Caenorhabditis elegans dpy-14, a gene encoding an essential cuticular collagen annotated as col-59. Expression of dpy-14 starts at the 16 E cell stage, making it the earliest-expressing collagen reported to date. SAGE data and dpy-14 promoter::GFP reporter constructs indicate that the gene is transcribed mainly during embryogenesis, specifically in ciliated neurons...
