Do Ce hsp16-41 promoter constructs work in C. briggsae?

Model Organism: Worms Scientific Discussion

Does anyone have experience with expression of C. elegans hsp16-41 constructs when introduced into C. briggsae via standard arrays? Do these tend to work as well as in C. elegans? (The constructs would be based on plasmid pPD49.83, if I recall correctly.)

Hi Morris,

Yes, Cel-hsp-16.41 works in C. briggsae: see Félix, Curr Biol 2007 with lin-3 coding regions.
