A systematic fluorescently tagged protein toolkit for dissecting apical extracellular matrix patterning in C. elegans.
Barrier epithelia are shielded from the external environment by their apical extracellular matrices (aECMs). The molecular complexity of aECMs has challenged understanding of their organization in vivo. To define the molecular architecture of a model aECM we generated a toolkit of 105 fluorescently tagged aECM componen...
