	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

9 Expression Patterns

• Primary Identifier: Expr1030935
• Pattern: Tiling arrays expression graphs

• Primary Identifier: Expr10783
• Pattern: Its expression started in embryos at the comma stage in a ubiquitous pattern and was present in all larval stages. In larvae, the expression was detected in pharyngeal and tail neurons, intestinal cells, egg-laying muscles and the anal depressor.

• Primary Identifier: Expr10785
• Pattern: Expression of this reporter gene started at the embryonic comma stage. Larval expression was detected in pharyngeal neurons, ventral and dorsal nerve cords, tail neurons, egg-laying neurons, and egg-laying muscles. In males, GFP was observed in male- specific tail ganglia and rays. In addition, the authors noted gei-8 expression in the germline by analyzing Y. Kohara's in situ hybridization results.

• Primary Identifier: Expr10784
• Pattern: The expression of gei-8a reporter gene was observed in all larval stages starting at the L1 stage and continuing through adulthood where expression was primarilyobserved in neurons of the pharyngeal nerve ring, head neurons, tail neurons and the egg-laying muscles.

• Primary Identifier: Expr1021058
• Pattern: Developmental gene expression time-course. Raw data can be downloaded from ftp://caltech.wormbase.org/pub/wormbase/datasets-published/levin2012

• Primary Identifier: Expr2012017
• 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: Expr10782
• Pattern: gei-8a is expressed throughout development, with a peak of expression in the L4 stage. This late larval increase possibly reflects expression in the maturing germline.

• Primary Identifier: Expr1144572
• Pattern: Developmental gene expression time-course. Raw data can be downloaded from ftp://caltech.wormbase.org/pub/wormbase/datasets-published/hashimshony2015
