Adult animals grown at 25°C were examined. n>100 for each.

ODR-7 expression was examined by staining with anti-ODR-7 antibodies(Sarafi-Reinach et al., 2001). The odr-7::gfp (Sengupta et al.,1994), odr-10::gfp(Sengupta et al., 1996) and ops-1::dsRed (Sarafi-Reinach et al., 2001) transgenes were stably integrated into the genome. unc-30::gfp (Jin et al.,1994) was present on extrachromosomal arrays, and expression from the same arrays was examined in wild-type and mutant backgrounds. Numbers shown are from strains carrying two different unc-30::gfp arrays,with the exception of alr-1(oy56) in which expression from a single array was examined

For extrachromosomal arrays, numbers shown are from at least two independent arrays examined in a given strain background
