Regulated By Treatment	Description	Algorithm	Primary Identifier
	Transcripts enriched in Distal_tip_cell according to single cell RNAseq.	Genes that pass the Bonferroni threshold for multiple comparisons (q < 0.05) are significantly enriched.	WBPaper00061651:Distal_tip_cell_enriched

1 Expression Patterns

• Primary Identifier: Expr14718
• Pattern: A transcriptional reporter for arg-1, a Notch ligand gene, is expressed in mDTCs and not in hDTCs or any other regulatory somatic gonad cells, allowing us to distinguish mDTCs from hDTCs.
