Recent single-cell transcriptome analysis has revealed a tremendous breadth and specificity of neuropeptide-encoding gene expression in the nervous system of C. elegans. To analyze the dynamics of neuropeptide gene expression, as well as to dissect the regulatory mechanism by which their expression is controlled, reporter genes remain an important tool. Using CRISPR/Cas9 genome-engineering, we generate here reporter alleles for 6 different neuropeptide encoding genes (3 flp genes, 1 nlp and 2 insulin genes). We find that different reporter cassettes result in different levels of reporter expression and recommend usage of an SL2::GFP::H2B or GFP::H2B::SL2 cassette.
