	Genes that showed expression levels higher than the corresponding reference sample (L3/L4 all cell 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.

• Primary Identifier: Expr2009963
• 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.

• Pattern: Tiling arrays expression graphs

• Primary Identifier: Expr1111
• Remark: The CHE-14GFP fusion protein rescued the partial lethality and the dye-filling defect of che-14 mutants.
• Pattern: In wild-type animals, GFP fluorescence was observed in all hypodermal cells and support cells, starting at mid-embryogenesis (comma stage). Expression was stronger in the lateral seam cells, excretory system, vulva and rectum.
• Subcellular Localization: The CHE-14GFP fusion protein was enriched at the apical surface in hypodermal cells or in the equivalent area where support cells form a channel, but could also be detected at low levels in the cytoplasm, where it often looked punctate.
