Leaps and lulls in the developmental transcriptome of Dictyostelium discoideum.
-
ecmB is a widely used molecular marker of prestalk cell-type differentiation (paired with cotB as a prespore marker).
"The genes cotB and ecmB are often used to mark the differentiation of prespore and prestalk cell-types, respectively"
-
ecmB is a prestalk gene whose expression, detectable from ~12 h, is up-regulated dramatically during late development/culmination (16-18 h).
