	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.

	Maternal class (M): genes that are called present in at least one of the three PC6 replicates.	A modified Welch F statistic was used for ANOVA. For each gene, regressed error estimates were substituted for observed error estimates. The substitution is justified by the lack of consistency among the most and least variable genes at each time point. Regressed error estimates were abundance-dependent pooled error estimates that represented a median error estimate from a window of genes of similar abundance to the gene of interest. A randomization test was used to compute the probability Pg of the observed F statistic for gene g under the null hypothesis that developmental time had no effect on expression. P-values were not corrected for multiple testing.	[cgc5767]:expression_class_M

	Embryonic class (E): genes that significantly increase in abundance at some point during embryogenesis.	A modified Welch F statistic was used for ANOVA. For each gene, regressed error estimates were substituted for observed error estimates. The substitution is justified by the lack of consistency among the most and least variable genes at each time point. Regressed error estimates were abundance-dependent pooled error estimates that represented a median error estimate from a window of genes of similar abundance to the gene of interest.

7 Expression Patterns

• Primary Identifier: Expr7811
• Remark: Picture: Figure 5. The transition zone from mitosis to meiosis starts where 60% of the nuclei show the crescent-shaped morphology that is a hallmark of early meiotic prophase. Therefore, MEL-26 and FIGL-1 exhibit a seemingly complementary localization within the germ line of wild-type animals, a relationship expected for a substrate and its specific adaptor for degradation. The border of their respective localizations seems to correlate with the transition zone, which separates the mitotic from the meiotic cells (or nuclei).
• Subcellular Localization: FIGL-1 was predominantly expressed around chromosomes in nuclei of cells in the mitotic zone of the germ line. Quantification of these results revealed that FIGL-1 levels in the mitotic zone were 2-fold higher compared with its expression in meiotic cells.

• Subcellular Localization: FIGL-1 was predominantly localized in the nuclei of C.elegans oocytes, although some was localized in the cytoplasm. Western blot analysis indicated that FIGL-1 was expressed during different developmental stages (embryos, larvae and adults), suggesting that FIGL-1 expression is not limited to the germline, but may be more widespread.
