WormBase Gene ID  ? WBGene00002138 Gene Name  inx-16
Sequence Name  ? R12E2.5 Brief Description  inx-16 encodes a pannexin, an integral transmembrane channel protein that is a structural component of gap junctions; inx-16 is required for the initiation and propagation of the intestinal calcium wave that is essential for proper execution of the C. elegans rhythmic defecation motor program; in addition, inx-16 mutant animals are aldicarb-resistant, suggesting regulatory communication between the intestine and acetylcholine motor neurons; INX-16 is expressed in the intestine where it localizes to points of cell-cell contact, coincident with sites of gap junctions.
Organism  Caenorhabditis elegans Automated Description  Predicted to enable gap junction hemi-channel activity. Involved in calcium-mediated signaling; regulation of defecation rhythm; and regulation of neuromuscular synaptic transmission. Located in gap junction. Expressed in intestine.
Biotype  SO:0001217 Genetic Position  I :-1.67049 ±0.007083

  Coexpression clique No. 60, 176662_at-Y53F4B.16, on the genome-wide coexpression clique map for the nematode GPL200 platform. All available microarray datasets for the GPL200 platform (Affymetrix C. elegans Genome Array) were obtained from the GEO repository. This included 2243 individual microarray experiments. These were normalized against each other with the software RMAexpress (Bolstad, 2014). Based on these normalized values, Pearsons correlation coefficients were obtained for each probe-probe pair of the 22,620 probes represented on this array type. The resulting list of correlation coefficients was then ranked to generate the ranked coexpression database with information on each probe represented on the GPL200 platform.

  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

WBPaper00065373:Cisplatin_downregulated_WT
  Genes that showed expression levels higher than the corresponding reference sample (embryonic 0hr 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.
