  Genes with expression level regulated by genotype (N2 vs CB4856) and age at old adults stage (214 hours at 24 centigrade). For model 2, authors used 100 permutations to estimate the FDR threshold. Per permutation, genotypes and ages were independently randomly distributed, keeping the among-gene structure intact. Then for each spot (23,232) on the array, model 2 was tested. The obtained P-values were used to estimate a threshold for each of the explanatory factors. Authors also used a genome-wide threshold of -log10 P-value = 2, which resembles an FDR of 0.072 and 0.060 for marker and the interaction age-marker for the developing worms and FDR of 0.050 and 0.065 for marker and age-marker for the aging worms. For the physiological age effect, authors used a log10 P-value = 8 in developing worms (0.012 FDR) and -log10 P-value = 6 (0.032 FDR). WBPaper00040858:eQTL_age_regulated_aging

  Expression Pattern Group C, enriched for genes involved in metabolic processes. The significance (P 0.0001) of the relative age (time) was used to determine if a gene was differentially expressed between the three age (time) groups. The effect of this factor explaining gene expression differences was used to determine if the expression went up or down during the two age/time periods (t1 - t2 and t2 -t3). Authors used a permutation approach to determine the thresholds for the different mapping strategies. For each of the used models for eQTL mapping, authors used 23,000 permutations. For each permutation, authors randomly picked a spot; each spot could only be picked once. The gene expression and relative lifespan values were than randomly distributed over the RILs (and time points) and used for mapping. In this way, authors obtained a threshold for each of the explaining factors. For the single time points, authors used a FDR of 0.01 to adjust for multiple testing. The genome-wide threshold for this FDR is -log10 P = 3.8 for each of the three time points. For the combined models (t1 to t2 and t2 to t3), authors used a genome-wide threshold of -log10 P = 4, which resembles an FDR of 0.006, 0.001, and 0.006 for marker, age, and the interaction between marker and age, respectively. To determine the threshold for the single gene examples, authors used 1000 permutations as in the genome-wide threshold. The difference is that they use the gene under study in all of the permutations. The P-values for the gene specific thresholds were determined at FDR = 0.05. WBPaper00036286:Pattern_C

Exposed to males for 8 days. Genes down regulated in hermaphrodites after 8 days of exposure to males. To identify significantly regulated genes between the -male and +male conditions, authors used the Rank Products methods (R package RankProd), using the batch information to adujst for experiment specific biases, and set a False Discovery Rate (FDR) threshold for discovery of genes of 5%. From this analysis, 341 probes on the array were significantly up-regulated in the male treated samples, and 289 were significantly down-regulated. WBPaper00044535:male_downregulated

  Genes that change expression level at day 8 adult stage after ash-2 RNAi. One-class analysis in significance analysis of microarrays (SAM)38 was performed comparing empty vector to ash-2 RNAi using a 5% false discovery rate (FDR). Resulting SAM lists of genes regulated by ASH-2 were compared for genes that were specifically changed in N2, but not in glp-1(e2141ts) mutant worms. A complete linkage hierarchical clustering was performed using Gene Cluster 3.0. Clustering results were analysed further with Java Treeview40. GOstat41 was used to identify overrepresented gene ontology categories in the list of ASH-2 regulated genes that were dependent on the presence of the germline. WBPaper00036383:ash-2_Day8_regulated
