  mRNAs that showed decreased expression in 1 cell mebryo comparing to in oocyte, according to RNAseq analysis. Gaussian error propagation. As cutoff for the up-regulated genes authors used log2 fold change > 1 and P < 0.05 and as cutoff for the down-regulated genes authors used log2 fold change < -1 and P < 0.05. WBPaper00045420:fertilization_downregulated_transcript
  Genes that showed expression levels higher than the corresponding reference sample (embryonic 24hr 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.

  Genes with significantly increased expression in eat-2(ad465) treated with 2% DMSO for 72 hours, comparing to in N2 treated with 2% DMSO for 72 hours. Analysis of gene expression data was carried out with the Affymetrix Transcriptome Analysis Console. Data preprocessing (using RMA normalization) and QC metrics were performed using Affymetrix Expression Console TM and manually inspected afterwards. Expression analysis was carried out for each two pairwise conditions. FDR statistical correction for multiple testing resulted in a slightly lower number of DEGs in most cases.

9 Expression Patterns

Remark Reporter Gene Primary Identifier Pattern Subcellular Localization
    Expr10579 The progeny of injected animals displayed YFP expression in both neuronal and non-neuronal structures, from late embryonic stages to adulthood. Post-embryonic neurons include a few unidentified cells clustered near the nerve ring, some of them projecting dendrites anteriorly like amphid neurons, numerous motoneurons in the ventral nerve cord and, most obviously the six touch receptor neurons (TRNs): ALML/R, PLML/R, AVM and PVM. In addition, the biolistic integration of the reporter construct led to the expression of YFP in the germline, which was expected, from both genetic and molecular data (Gonczy et al., 2001), as well as in hypodermal cells. Using affinity-purified ZYG-8 antibodies, together with anti-acetylated tubulin (AcTub) monoclonal antibodies that preferentially decorate TRN processes it was found that ZYG-8 colocalized with AcTub, indicating that ZYG-8 is present in touch cells and distributed along the length of their neurites. Anti-ZYG-8 antibodies also marked the gonad and other structures that include ventral nerve cords (data not shown).  
    Expr16314 Consistently, ZYG-8 expression was observed in AFD.  
    Expr2036350 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).

Colocalization of ZYG-8 with microtubules was confirmed by indirect immunofluorescence microscopy with antibodies raised against ZYG-8. This aspect of the staining pattern reflects bonafide ZYG-8 distribution because it is absent in zyg-8 mutant embryos. No detailed description on cellular expression patterns.   Expr1847   ZYG-8::GFP concentrates in areas of high microtubule density, such as the spindle and spindle poles during mitosis. In addition, ZYG-8::GFP is present at low levels in the cytoplasm throughout the cell cycle and detectable at centrosomes during prophase.
