Regulated By Treatment Description Algorithm Primary Identifier
  oocyte proteins identified by two or more unique peptides during proteomics study. In the pooled data set, 1453 C. elegans proteins were identified with a probability >= 0.9 according to ProteinProphet, of which 1165 proteins were identified by more than one unique peptide. WBPaper00038289:oocyte_protein
  Genes with expression altered >= 3-fold in dpy-10(e128) mutants. Data across the wild type series was analyzed using the Significance analysis of Microarrays (SAM) algorithm (to calculate the False Discovery Rate (FDR)). WBPaper00035873:dpy-10_regulated
  Transcripts of coding genes that showed significantly decreased expression in muscle. DESeq2 (version 1.24.0). Transcripts with a false-discovery rate adjusted p-value less than 0.05 were considered significantly differentially expressed. WBPaper00062325:muscle_depleted_coding-RNA
  Transcripts expressed in neuronal cells, by analyzingfluorescence-activated cell sorted (FACS) neurons. DESeq. False discovry rate (FDR) < 0.1. WBPaper00048988:neuron_expressed
  Genes that showed expression levels higher than the corresponding reference sample (embryonic 24hr 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.

adult vs dauer larva Transcripts that showed differential expression in adult vs dauer lava in N2 animals at 20C. N.A. WBPaper00050488:adult_vs_dauer_regulated_N2_20C
  TGF- Dauer pathway adult transcriptional targets. Results obtained by comparing the microarray results of the dauer-constitutive mutants daf-7(e1372), daf-7(m62), and daf-1(m40) with dauer-defective mutants daf-3(mgDf90), daf-5(e1386), and daf-7(e1372);daf-3(mgDf90) double mutants at the permissive temperature, 20C, on the first day of adulthood.

WBPaper00037950:AVE-neuron_L1-larva_expressed
Osmotic stress Transcripts that showed significantly altered expression with 500 mM salt (NaCl) vs 100 mM salt when food was present DESeq(version 1.10.1), FDR < 0.05. WBPaper00050726:OsmoticStress_regulated_Food

  Coexpression clique No. 203, sre-33-ZK1025.1_8337, on the genome-wide coexpression clique map for the nematode GPL200 platform. All available microarray datasets for the GPL200 platform (Affymetrix C. elegans Genome Array) were obtained from the GEO repository. This included 2243 individual microarray experiments. These were normalized against each other with the software RMAexpress (Bolstad, 2014). Based on these normalized values, Pearsons correlation coefficients were obtained for each probe-probe pair of the 22,620 probes represented on this array type. The resulting list of correlation coefficients was then ranked to generate the ranked coexpression database with information on each probe represented on the GPL200 platform.

Enriched contains only genes significantly enriched (differentially expressed >= 2.4 fold in total RNA or >= 3.2 fold in DSN treated total RNA) in the NSM neurons versus the reference.

  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

  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

    Expr1682 AJM-1 localizes to the apical borders of all C. elegans epithelia. Expression occurs in the embryonic hypodermis, pharynx and intestine, as well as in post-embryonic epithelia, including the vulva, uterus, spermathecae, pharynx, intestine, hindgut, hypodermis and male tail. MH27 staining of embryos expressing HMP-1GFP reveals that AJM-1 occupies an apical domain that is basal to the HMRHMP(cadherincatenin) complex in all epithelial tissues examined. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis of embryonic hypodermal cell junctions revealed an apical junctional domain resembling adherens junctions of flies and vertebrates, whereas no morphologically distinct septate or tight junctions are observed. The apicobasal extent of this domain is ~100 nm. Immuno-TEM analysis of hypodermal cells of larvae with the MH27 antibody revealed that AJM-1 specifically localizes to the apical domain. AJM-1 localizes to the apical borders of all C. elegans epithelia.
    Expr10781   In wild-type embryos, AJM-1 is well-distributed along the apical junctions of epithelia.
    Expr11871 AJM-1::GFP is first detected in wildtype embryos beginning at the lima-bean stage (350 min post-fertilization) in the central region of the primordial pharynx. Expression of AJM-1::GFP is also observed in the region corresponding to the arcade cells beginning at around the comma stage (400 min), coincident with the onset of reorientation. Expression of AJM-1::GFP increases throughout the 1.5- and 2.0-fold stages of embryogenesis in both the pharynx and arcade regions of wild-type embryos (430-450 min).

    Expr2935 During the late-L3 stage very little AJM-1 was detected, and what was present was not yet concentrated at apical junctions. Only in mid-L4 did AJM-1 begin to accumulate apically, starting in the proximal gonad and moving more distally. The appearance of AJM-1 at apical junctions roughly correlated with the disappearance of PAR-3. In mid-L4 AJM-1 begin to accumulate apically, starting in the proximal gonad and moving more distally.

Other strain-- UL1061   Expr2080 This gene encodes the protein recognised by the MH27 antibody. Unsurprisingly, expression is located to cell-cell boundaries. In adults expression is generally confined to the pharynx, although other structures, such as the vulva, occasionally show expression. In embryos and young larvae expression is more extensive and may well be ubiquitous. Expression is located to cell-cell boundaries.
