Quantification of insulin-like gene expression during the C. elegans life cycle reveals distinct expression patterns.

A schematic of the C. elegans life cycle is presented along with plots of the average and standard deviation (3 biological replicates) of transcript counts for each gene. The ins-13 probe is not specific and reports expression of acdh-2. In the plots, “emb” refers to mid-grastrulation embryos, “L1” refers to L1 arrest, and “dau” refers to dauer arrest.
