WormMine: Gene WBGene00000171

• WormBase Gene ID: WBGene00000171
• Gene Name: aqp-3
• Sequence Name: Y69E1A.7
• Brief Description: aqp-3 encodes an aquaglyceroporin whose expression in Xenopus oocytes increases water or glycerol permeability five- to seven-fold; loss of AQP-3 activity via mutation or RNAi results in no obvious defects; however, AQP-3, in conjunction with AQP-2, AQP-4, and AQP-8, is weakly required for recovery from hypotonic stress; AQP-3 is expressed in the intestine, excretory cell, seminal vesicle, and vas deferens.
• Organism: Caenorhabditis elegans
• Automated Description: Enables water channel activity. Involved in glycerol transmembrane transport and water transport. Predicted to be located in basolateral plasma membrane. Expressed in excretory cell; intestine; and vas deferens. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including brain edema; inflammatory bowel disease (multiple); and morbid obesity. Is an ortholog of several human genes including AQP3 (aquaporin 3 (Gill blood group)); AQP7 (aquaporin 7); and AQP9 (aquaporin 9).

	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.

	Transcripts down regulated in hpl-2(tm1489) embryo comparing to N2 in tiling array analysis.	Oligos from the tiling array were mapped to chromosome coordinates of the exons from Wormbase WS180. Any oligo that mapped to a gene on both the Watson and Crick strands was excluded. The remaining oligos were then grouped together (perfect match and mismatch) into probe sets and written out into an Affymetrix CDF file. The CDF file was converted into an R-package and loaded into R. The expression values were calculated using the justRMA function from Bioconductor. This used a Benjamini and Hochberg false discovery rate correction.	WBPaper00040560:hpl-2_embryo_downregulated
