Rosetta Resolver was used to identify differentially expressed genes using an error-weighted, 1-way ANOVA with a Bonferroni correction. A 2-fold change in expression, relative to untreated controls, and a p-value < 0.01 was required for a gene to qualify as significantly, differentially expressed.	WBPaper00044316:CH3HgCl_7.5uM_upregulated
	Genes that showed increased expression in bar-1(ga80) animal comparing to in N2.	All statistical analyses were performed using the statistical programming language R (version 2.13.1 x 64). A linear model was used to determine the effect and significance of the genotype on the expression levels (probe intensity + genotype + error). Using permutations of the original data in the same linear model, authors determined thresholds adjusted for multiple testing (FDR 0.05: -log10(p) > 2; FDR 0.01: -log10(p) > 3). To correct for the developmental difference between bar-1(ga80) and N2 authors used the developmental gene expression data from Snoek et al. (2014) together with the gene expression data generated for this study (bar-1(ga80) vs. N2) in one linear model (probe intensity, sample age + genotype + error). The intensities were corrected for batch effect and for sample age authors used an age of 44 hours for the bar-1(ga80) samples (as estimated), and 48 hours for the N2 samples.

7 Expression Patterns

• Primary Identifier: Expr4720
• Pattern: Intestine, weak pharyngeal lumen, head neurons including one in amphid.

• Primary Identifier: Expr2009079
• 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.

• Remark: The abf-1 transcripts were detected as at least five bands (0.3, 0.5, 1, 2 and 4.5 kb). Although the short SL-less and long SL-trans-spliced transcripts of abf-1 could be the 0.3 and 0.5 kb bands respectively, the 1, 2 and 4.5 kb bands were unexpected. No genes whose sequence was significantly similar to abf-1 or abf-2 have been detected in the C. elegans genome database.
