Raw counts for the genes were analyzed using the R Statistical Computing Environment and the Bioconductor packages DESeq and edgeR. Both packages provide statistical routines for determining differential expression in digital gene expression data using a model based on the negative binomial distribution. The resulting p-values were adjusted using the Benjamini and Hochberg's approach for controlling the false discovery rate (FDR). If both FDR values (by DESeq and edgeR) were smaller than p = 0.05, genes were assigned as differentially expressed.	WBPaper00044260:nicotinc-acid_upregulated

7 Expression Patterns

• Primary Identifier: Expr1030871
• Pattern: Tiling arrays expression graphs

• Primary Identifier: Expr2011851
• Pattern: Single cell embryonic expression. Only cell types with an expression fraction of greater 0.2 of the maximum expressed fraction are labeled (Full data can be downloaded from http://caltech.wormbase.org/pub/wormbase/datasets-published/packer2019/). The colors represent the broad cell class to which the cell type has been assigned. The size of the point is proportional to the log2 of the numbers of cells in the dataset of that cell type. Interactive visualizations are available as a web app (https://cello.shinyapps.io/celegans/) and can also be installed as an R package (https://github.com/qinzhu/VisCello.celegans).

• Primary Identifier: Expr2381
• Remark: Immunostaining increased in neuronal cell bodies of unc-104 KIF1A mutants, whereas staining in axons was proportionately diminished. In addition, a broader expression pattern was observed in unc-104 KIF1A mutants compared with wild-type controls, because retention in the cell bodies enabled identification of previously undetected neurons. Protein_Description: FMRFamide related peptides (FaRPs).
• Pattern: Nerve ring and other neuronal processes.
• Subcellular Localization: In wild-type animals, FaRPs immunostaining was most concentrated in the nerve ring and other neuronal processes, whereas neuronal cell bodies had lower levels of expression.
