	Genes that showed expression levels higher than the corresponding reference sample (Young adult 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.

10 Expression Patterns

• Primary Identifier: Expr1163189
• Pattern: Developmental gene expression time-course. Raw data can be downloaded from ftp://caltech.wormbase.org/pub/wormbase/datasets-published/hashimshony2015

• Primary Identifier: Expr9193
• Pattern: Ins-6 expression is rare in non-neuronal tissues and restricted to the ASI neurons of well-fed larvae and adults. This is different from the previously described expression of ins-6 in many neurons (Pierce et al., 2001), including ASI, which was determined with a gfp or an mCherry transcriptional reporter fused only to the ins-6 upstream sequences. This suggests that sequences downstream of ins-6 contain element(s) that repress its expression in other cells. The switch into dauer arrest shifted the transcription of ins-6p::mCherry from ASI to ASJ. In addition, as the animals started to exit from dauer, ASJ expression of ins-6p::mCherry appeared to become stronger in response to the improved environment. The activation of ins-6 in the ASJ was also seen in worms carrying a transcriptional reporter fused only to the ins-6 upstream sequences.
