WormBase Gene ID  ? WBGene00001535 Gene Name  gcy-8
Sequence Name  ? C49H3.1 Brief Description  gcy-8 encodes a receptor-type guanylyl cyclase that, along with gcy-18 and gcy-23, constitutes a subfamily of guanylyl cyclase genes in C. elegans; gcy-8 functions redundantly with gcy-18 and gcy-23, and upstream of tax-4, to regulate thermotaxis via the AFD thermosensory neurons, although of the three guanylyl cyclases required, genetic analyses suggest that GCY-18 is the primary guanylyl cyclase required; GCY-8 is expressed exclusively in the AFD thermosensory neurons where it localizes to sensory endings; GCY-8 expression in the AFD neurons requires activity of the TAX-2/4 cyclic nucleotide gated channel and the CMK-1 Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase I, while maintenance of GCY-8 expression requires the OTD/OTX homeodomain protein TTX-1.
Organism  Caenorhabditis elegans Automated Description  Enables guanylate cyclase activity. Involved in microvillus organization and response to temperature stimulus. Located in microvillus membrane and neuron projection terminus. Expressed in AFDL and AFDR.
Biotype  SO:0001217 Genetic Position  IV :3.50015 ±0.000609

  Genes with expression level regulated by genotype (N2 vs CB4856) at L3 larva and Late reproduction stage (96 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_regulated_developing

  Genes that showed expression levels higher than the corresponding reference sample (L2 all cell reference). A Mann-Whitney U test with an empirical background model and FDR correction for multiple testing was used to detect expressed transcripts (Benjamini and Hochberg 1995). Genes and TARs with an FDR <= 0.05 were reported as expressed above background. Authors detected differentially expressed transcripts using a method based on linear models. Genes and TARs were called differentially expressed if the FDR was <= 0.05 and the fold change (FC) >= 2.0. To more strictly correct for potential false-positives resulting from multiple sample comparisons, authors divided individual FDR estimates by the number of samplesor sample comparisons, respectively. This resulted in an adjusted FDR of 1.3 * 0.0001 for expression above background and of 7.4 * 0.0001 for differential expression. Authors called genes selectively enriched in a given tissue if they met the following requirements: (1) enriched expression in a given tissue (FDR <= 0.05 and FC >= 2.0), (2) fold change versus reference among the upper 40% of the positive FC range observed for this gene across all tissues, and (3) fold-change entropy among the lower 40% of the distribution observed for all genes.
