  Transcripts expressed in hypodermis, according to PAT-Seq analysis using Pdpy-7-GFP-3XFLAG mRNA tagging. Cufflinks FPKM value >=1. WBPaper00050990:hypodermis_expressed
  Genes with expression level regulated by genotype (N2 vs CB4856) and age at old adults stage (214 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_aging

  Genes with expression level regulated by genotype (N2 vs CB4856) at Late reproduction stage (96 hours at 24 centigrade). Authors permuted transcript values and used a genome-wide threshold of log10 P-value = 2, which resembles a false discovery rate (FDR) of 0.0118. WBPaper00040858:eQTL_regulated_reproductive

Fold change > 2. WBPaper00064306:Agaro-oligosaccharides_upregulated

  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
  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 (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.

  Transcripts that showed significantly increased expression in hda-1(ne4752[3xFLAG-Degron-HDA-1]) in gonads dissected from 1-day old adult animals. Salmon was used to map the mRNA-seq reads with the worm database WS268, and its output files were imported to DESeq2 in R. The differentially expressed genes were filtered by fold change more than 2 and adjusted p-value < 0.05. The scatter plots were generated by the plot function in R.

  Transcripts that were regulated by both set-6(ok2195) and baz-2(tm0235) at 2-day post L4 adult hermaphrodite stage. N.A. WBPaper00059356:set-6(ok2195)_baz-2(tm0235)_regulated

    Expr15100 nekl-2 and nekl-3. Consistent with our previous study (YOCHEM et al. 2015), these reporters were expressed strongly within the epidermis beginning in late embryonic development. NEKL-2::NeonGreen was present in cytosolic puncta that were enriched at the hyp7-seam cell boundary, similar to our observations for MLT- 2 and MLT-4. As anticipated, NEKL- 2::NeonGreen showed extensive colocalization with MLT-2::mKate2 in the apical region of hyp7, although some puncta did not overlap. In the case of NEKL-2 and MLT-3, coexpression was more variable. In apical regions, including the region encompassing the hyp7-seam cell boundary, most NEKL-2::NeonGreen and MLT- 3::mKate2 puncta failed to overlap, although colocalization of some puncta was often observed. Moreover, in some animals we observed moderate-to-strong overlap, particularly in larger apical accumulations and in more medial planes.

    Expr12111 NEKL-2::mCherry was observed in spheres or puncta near the apical surface of the hypodermis including the hyp7 syncytium. Similar to NEKL-3::GFP, NEKL-2::mCherry was not observed in the seam cells. In contrast to NEKL-3::GFP, NEKL-2::mCherry was not observed in the vulva. Of particular interest, NEKL-3::GFP puncta only rarely co-localized with NEKL-2::mCherry in hyp7, suggesting that these kinases may function in distinct cellular compartments.
