*RNAi experiments were performed as described in Materials and methods. †Number of worms with GFP expression in all hypodermal seam cells. ‡Number of worms with GFP expression only in their anterior and/or posterior seam cells, but not in the midbody seam cells. §Number of worms with no GFP expression visible in any cells.
