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.

8 Expression Patterns

• Primary Identifier: Expr13568
• Pattern: ztf-6::gfp expression is first observed in late embryogenesis (threefold stage). In early larval stages, the ztf-6::gfp-expressing cells include head hypodermal cells, head muscle cells, neurons, and ectodermal blast cells along the body (all P and all V cells) and in the tail. Starting in the L2 stage, additional neurons in P cell-derived ventral cord motor neurons express ztf-6::gfp. Because of the postdeirid loss phenotype of ztf-6 mutants, we examined the postdeirid lineage in more detail. We observe ztf-6 expression in the V5 cell of freshly hatched L1 animals. Upon division of the V5 cell into a posterior and anterior daughter, we observe expression in both the anterior and posterior daughters of the V5 cell. The descendent of the posterior V5.p daughter, V5.pa (the founder of the postdeirid lineage), and V5.pp also continue to express ztf-6::gfp. Within the V5.pa lineage, expression of ztf-6::gfp is retained in the blast cells that generate the glial cells and the PDE and PVD neurons (v5.paaa, V5.papa, V5.paap, V5.papp). No expression is detected at later stages in this lineage.

• Primary Identifier: Expr7701
• Remark: Clone: pUL#JRH/AB1
• Pattern: Various components. Expression is strong in vulval cells, possibly all. Expression is also strong in some head and tail nerve cells and in hypodermis, late embryo to adult. Expression is lost from lateral hypodermis by adult stage.

• Primary Identifier: Expr2036342
• Pattern: 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.
