	Transcripts expressed in neuronal cells, by analyzingfluorescence-activated cell sorted (FACS) neurons.	DESeq. False discovry rate (FDR) < 0.1.	WBPaper00048988:neuron_expressed
	Genes significantly enriched (> 2x, FDR < 5%) in a particular cell-type versus a reference sample of all cells at the same stage.	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 that increased expression in response to 50uM mianserin on adult day 5, which are not a response to aging. This is a list of 733 genes.	The quasi-likelihood F-test from the edgeR package was used to test these counts for statistically significant differential gene expression between water- and mianserin-treated samples, while controlling for expression differences between the 3 biological replicates. We performed multiple testing correction by using the Benjamini-Hochberg procedure to compute a false discovery rate (FDR) value for each gene, and we considered an FDR less than 10% to be significant.

7 Expression Patterns

• Primary Identifier: Expr2009642
• 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. 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).

• Primary Identifier: Expr13235
• Pattern: In both males and hermaphrodites, bnc-1 is almost exclusively expressed in VA and VB motorneurons. Weaker expression is also observed in the SABV neuron pair. The protein localizes exclusively to nuclei. bnc-1 expression is initiated around the postembryonic birth of VA and VB MNs at the late first larval (L1) stage and is maintained throughout the life of the animals. A similar expression pattern is observed with successively smaller reporter gene constructs: (1) a fosmid reporter in which bnc-1 is tagged at the C terminus, (2) the aforementioned rescue construct that contains sequences 1.8 kb upstream of the start codon all the way to the stop codon, or (3) a promoter fusion construct that only contains the sequence 1.8 kb upstream of the start codon. Besides VA/VB MNs, bnc-1 is also expressed in the male-specific CP7 MN and CP8 interneuron in the VNC.
