SEM-2/SoxC regulates multiple aspects of C. elegans postembryonic mesoderm development.
Development of multicellular organisms requires well-orchestrated interplay between cell-intrinsic transcription factors and cell-cell signaling.One set of highly conserved transcription factors that plays diverse roles in development is the SoxC group.C.elegans contains a sole SoxC protein, SEM-2.SEM-2 is essential for embryonic development, and f
