Fig. 6. Expression of the posterior HOX gene nob-1 is regulated by cell
lineage. (A) Wild-type expression of a nob-1 YFP reporter in a
200-cell embryo (210 minutes after the four-cell stage at 22°C).
Arrows indicate the two posterior-most C-lineage cells. Expression of the
nob-1 reporter in similarly staged pal-1(RNAi) (B) and
mex-3(RNAi) (C) embryos shows loss of and ectopic expression,
respectively.
