Top 300 enriched transcripts were determined by log2.ratio of the tpm in the cell type vs the tpm in the other cells * the log2 of the cell.type tpm.	WBPaper00061340:Glia

1 Expression Patterns

• Primary Identifier: Expr9197
• Pattern: No expression from the transgene is seen in embryonic stages. GFP expression is detected in glial cells associated with amphid, phasmid, labial and posterior deirids (PDE) sensory neurons as early as the L1 stage and continuing throughout larval development. Expression is also seen in vulval tissue in L4 and adult animals.

Definition	Name	Synonym	Primary Identifier
An interfacial epithelial cell which forms a distal cap on a sheath cell to bind the sheath of a sensillum to the neighboring hypodermis, via adherens junctions. There is often a narrow opening through the socket from the exterior into the sheath channel, allowing ciliated dendrites to be exposed to the external environment. The socket cell functions similarly to a glial cell.	socket cell		WBbt:0005750
