WormBase Get Expression

Get expression data for a C. elegans gene from WormBase. Returns tissues where the gene is expressed, developmental stages, subcellular localization, and expression clusters. Expression data is curated from GFP reporters, antibody staining, RNA in situ, and microarray experiments. Example: WBGene00006763 (unc-26) is expressed in 38 tissues including neurons, pharynx, and body wall muscle.
