Regulated By Treatment Description Algorithm Primary Identifier
  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 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 significantly enriched (> 2x, FDR < 5%) in a particular cell-type versus a reference sample of all cells at the same stage. 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. WBPaper00037950:A-class-motor-neurons_larva_enriched
  Genes that showed expression levels higher than the corresponding reference sample (embryonic 24hr reference).

egl-3 is called CELPC2 in this article. The locus name was identified by blast search in WS58. --wjc.   Expr1532 Signal was seen in the pharyngeal region and in the tail. Adult worms showed intense signal in a group of cells circumscribing the isthmus and terminal bulb regions of the pharynx, as well as another group in the tail. Staining was very consistent in adults, but more variable in larvae.  
    Expr1815 Many neurons in both the head (mean, 46.6 head cells per animal) and tail ganglia (mean, 12 tail cells per animal) were stained with the anti-egl-3 PC2 antibodies. A subset of expressing cells were identified, including: the mechanosensory neurons ASH, ALM, AVM, and PVM; the interneurons AVB, AVD, PVC, RIG, and SDQL; and the HSN egg-laying motorneurons. Expression in the command interneurons AVB, AVD, and PVC was confirmed by double staining with anti-egl-3 PC2 and anti-glr-1 GluR antibodies. In addition, many motor neurons in the ventral nerve cord (mean, 37 cells per animal) were stained with anti-egl-3 PC2 antibody. Non-neural cell types (e.g., hypodermis and muscle cells) were not stained with the anti-egl-3 PC2 antibody. Axon bundles in the nerve ring and ventral nerve cords of wild-type animals were brightly stained with the anti-egl-3 PC2 antibody.

Immunostaining increased in neuronal cell bodies of unc-104 KIF1A mutants, whereas staining in axons was proportionately diminished. In addition, a broader expression pattern was observed in unc-104 KIF1A mutants compared with wild-type controls, because retention in the cell bodies enabled identification of previously undetected neurons.   Expr2379 Nerve ring and other neuronal processes. In wild-type animals, egl-3 immunostaining was most concentrated in the nerve ring and other neuronal processes, whereas neuronal cell bodies had lower levels of expression.
