WormBase Gene ID  ? WBGene00011821 Gene Name  cdf-2
Sequence Name  ? T18D3.3 Brief Description  cdf-2 encodes a protein similar to members of the cation diffusion facilitator (CDF) family of transmembrane proteins and is most similar to vertebrate ZnT-2; two other elegans CDF proteins, cdf-1 and sur-7 have also been identified; CDF proteins regulate the transport of heavy metal ions like zinc; cdf-2 responds to dietary zinc as cdf-2 transcript levels can be correlated with dietary zinc concentrations; cdf-2 promotes the accumulation of zinc; the cdf-2 protein is expressed in intestinal cells and localizes to cytosolic vesicles.
Organism  Caenorhabditis elegans Automated Description  Predicted to enable zinc ion transmembrane transporter activity. Involved in cellular response to zinc ion and zinc ion transmembrane transport. Located in gut granule membrane. Expressed in intestine. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in type 2 diabetes mellitus. Is an ortholog of human SLC30A8 (solute carrier family 30 member 8).

  Expression Pattern Group C, enriched for genes involved in metabolic processes. The significance (P 0.0001) of the relative age (time) was used to determine if a gene was differentially expressed between the three age (time) groups. The effect of this factor explaining gene expression differences was used to determine if the expression went up or down during the two age/time periods (t1 - t2 and t2 -t3). Authors used a permutation approach to determine the thresholds for the different mapping strategies. For each of the used models for eQTL mapping, authors used 23,000 permutations. For each permutation, authors randomly picked a spot; each spot could only be picked once. The gene expression and relative lifespan values were than randomly distributed over the RILs (and time points) and used for mapping. In this way, authors obtained a threshold for each of the explaining factors. For the single time points, authors used a FDR of 0.01 to adjust for multiple testing. The genome-wide threshold for this FDR is -log10 P = 3.8 for each of the three time points. For the combined models (t1 to t2 and t2 to t3), authors used a genome-wide threshold of -log10 P = 4, which resembles an FDR of 0.006, 0.001, and 0.006 for marker, age, and the interaction between marker and age, respectively. To determine the threshold for the single gene examples, authors used 1000 permutations as in the genome-wide threshold. The difference is that they use the gene under study in all of the permutations. The P-values for the gene specific thresholds were determined at FDR = 0.05. WBPaper00036286:Pattern_C
  Transcripts depleted in purified oocyte P bodies comparing to in the whole animal. DESeq2, FDR < 0.05, fold change > 2. WBPaper00065975:P-body_vs_WholeAnimal_depleted
  Transcripts that showed significantly increased expression in animals with germline-specific inx-14(RNAi) comparing to in aniamls fed with control vector, both exposed to PA14 infection. DESeq2. Differentially-expressed genes (DEG) were identified based on two criteria: FDR (False discovery rateusing Benjamini-Hochberg adjusted p-values) < 0.01 and absolute value of log2(Fold Change) > 1. WBPaper00066146:germline-inx-14(RNAi)_upregulated_PA14
  Genes that showed oscillating mRNA expression level throughout the 16 hour time courses from L3 larva to young adult. The following three lines of R code were used to perform the classification: increasing <-2*amplitude-PC1 < -1.7; oscillating <-!increasing & (amplitude > 0.55); flat <-!increasing & !oscillating; Note that the amplitude of a sinusoidal wave corresponds to only half the fold change between trough and peak. WBPaper00044736:oscillating_dev_expression
  Genes that showed expression levels higher than the corresponding reference sample (L3/L4 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.
