	Top 300 transcripts enriched in ADF, ADL, AFD, ASE, ASG, ASH, ASI, ASJ, ASK, AWA, AWB, AWC according to single cell RNAseq.	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:Ciliated_amphid_neuron
	Transcripts enriched in ASI according to single cell RNAseq.	Genes that pass the Bonferroni threshold for multiple comparisons (q < 0.05) are significantly enriched.	WBPaper00061651:ASI_enriched
	Transcripts that showed significantly altered expression in skn-1gf(lax188) comparing to in WT animals in ASI neuron.	DESeq2, p-value < 0.05.	WBPaper00066256:skn-1gf(lax188)_regulated
