  Genes with expression level regulated by genotype (N2 vs CB4856) and age 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_age_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.

    Expr1842 Staining embryos with this anti-VAB-7 antibody confirmed that VAB-7 is expressed in posterior muscle and epidermal cells. However, a second phase of VAB-7 expression was discovered in embryonic ventral nerve cord (VNC) neurones, beginning at the 1.5-fold stage. At the threefold stage VAB-7 is expressed in nine neuronal nuclei (seven in the VNC and two nuclei in the head), and in the five most posterior epidermal nuclei, which form the hyp8 to hyp11 cells. VAB-7 is expressed in the seven DB class motoneurones; VAB-7 staining is also seen in two additional head neurones that have not been identified. DB neurones express VAB-7 throughout development. In addition, VAB-7 is expressed continuously in the hypodermal syncitium hyp10, and from the L1 stage in four unidentified neurones in the tail. Finally, at the adult stage, VAB-7 is detected in three VC neurones: VC1, VC2 and VC6. nuclei
A sequence connection to ZK152.6 was removed as this is not a valid sequence (nor is ZK152). This may have orginally been a typo for ZK154.6, but also bear in mind that the attached Locus (vab-7) is linked to M142.4   Expr93 vab-7 functions in posterior muscle and epidermal patterning in the embryo. vab-7::lacZ (pJA15) is expressed in Cxxp cells and most descendants; staining can be detected until the early L1 stage.

This information was extracted from published material (Archana Sharma-Oates, Andrew Mounsey and Ian A. Hope).   Expr782 Expression is first detected at the 100-cell stage, in four cells at the posterior end. These cells (specifically Caap, Capp, Cpap, Cppp) are the descendants of the C blastomeres and gives rise to dorsal posterior body wall muscles and epidermis (hypodermis) as well as two neurons. Expression is also detected in daughters of these cells. Staining in older embryos are variable, possibly because the level of expression is reduced.  
    Expr10467 Inferred Expression. EPIC dataset. http://epic.gs.washington.edu/ Large-scale cellular resolution compendium of gene expression dynamics throughout development. This reporter was inferred to be expressing in this cell or one of its embryonic progenitor cells as described below. To generate a compact description of which cells express a particular reporter irrespective of time, the authors defined a metric "peak expression" for each of the 671 terminal ("leaf") cells born during embryogenesis. For each of these cells, the peak expression is the maximal reporter intensity observed in that cell or any of its ancestors; this has the effect of transposing earlier expression forward in time to the terminal set of cells. This metric allows straightforward comparisons of genes' cellular and lineal expression overlap, even when the expression occurs with different timing and despite differences in the precise time point that curation ended in different movies, at the cost of ignoring the temporal dynamics of expression, a topic that requires separate treatment. For simplicity, the authors use the term "expressing cells" to mean the number of leaf cells (of 671) with peak expression greater than background (2000 intensity units) and at least 10% of the maximum expression in that embryo.
