WormMine: Gene WBGene00000492

• WormBase Gene ID: WBGene00000492
• Gene Name: che-13
• Sequence Name: F59C6.7
• Brief Description: che-13 encodes a novel protein homologous to mammalian IFT57/Hippi; CHE-13 is a proposed component of the intraflagellar transport (IFT) complex B, and is required for the construction and maintenance of cilia on a subset of sensory neurons; in addition, CHE-13 is required for proper localization of OSM-5, a murine polaris homolog, to IFT complex B; CHE-13 is expressed in ciliated sensory neurons including the amphids, phasmids, inner and outer labial neurons, and sensory rays of the male tail, localizing to the cilia base (transition zone) as well as to the axoneme; che-13 expression, like that of ciliogenic genes osm-1, osm-5, osm-6, and che-2, is positively regulated by the DAF-19 RFX-type transcription factor.
• Organism: Caenorhabditis elegans
• Automated Description: Involved in chemosensory behavior; cilium organization; and protein localization. Located in axoneme; ciliary basal body; and ciliary transition zone. Part of intraciliary transport particle B. Expressed in neurons. Used to study ciliopathy. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in orofaciodigital syndrome. Is an ortholog of human IFT57 (intraflagellar transport 57).

	Transcripts that showed significantly increased expression in L1 neural cells comparing to in adult neural cells.	DESeq2 (v1.18.1) fold change > 2, P-adj<0.05, using BenjaminiHochberg correction.	WBPaper00060811:L1_vs_adult_upregulated_neural
	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.

	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
