Should we say more about DAF-9 DAF-12 DAF-16 here

They don't have their own articles. They seem to be C. elegans genes & proteins ? Stereoselective synthesis of the hormonally active (25S)-D7-dafachronic acid, (25S)-D4-dafachronic acid, (25S)-dafachronic acid, and (25S)-cholestenoic acid refs 1 & 2 are from 2006/7. - Rod57 (talk) 02:04, 22 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Synthesis and Activity of Dafachronic Acid Ligands for the C. elegans DAF-12 Nuclear Hormone Receptor says DAF stands for dauer formation. - Rod57 (talk) 02:25, 22 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

unnecessary inline citation in the first sentence?

I don't think it's necessary to include the full citation (including both the original German and English translation for the book title(!)) from which the word "dauer" came. It makes it hard for readers to find where the body of the article actually starts. JoelleJay (talk) 02:07, 29 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
