WormBase Gene ID  ? WBGene00001543 Gene Name  gcy-18
Sequence Name  ? ZK896.8 Brief Description  gcy-18 encodes a receptor-type guanylyl cyclase that, along with gcy-8 and gcy-23, constitutes a subfamily of guanylyl cyclase genes in C. elegans; gcy-18 functions redundantly with gcy-8 and gcy-23, and upstream of tax-4, to regulate thermotaxis via the AFD thermosensory neurons, although of the three guanylyl cyclases required, genetic analyses suggest that GCY-18 is the primary guanylyl cyclase required; in addition, microarray experiments indicate that gcy-18 expression is induced in daf-16(RNAi); daf-2(RNAi) double mutants and repressed in daf-2(RNAi) mutants, suggesting that GCY-18 activity may contribute to a shortened lifespan; consistent with this, loss of gcy-18 activity via RNAi does result in lifespan extension; GCY-18 is expressed exclusively in the AFD thermosensory neurons, where it localizes to sensory endings.
Organism  Caenorhabditis elegans Automated Description  Predicted to enable adenylate cyclase activity; guanylate cyclase activity; and peptide receptor activity. Involved in detection of temperature stimulus; thermosensory behavior; and thermotaxis. Located in microvillus membrane and neuron projection terminus. Expressed in intestine and nervous system.
Biotype  SO:0001217 Genetic Position  IV :6.39518 ±0.005633

  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 that showed significantly increased expression in daf-2(e1370) comparing to in N2. To identify DEGs, Students t test and the log2 median ratio test were performed to compute t values and median ratios for all the annotated genes. The adjusted P values from each test were computed using an empirical distribution of the null hypothesis, which was obtained from random permutations of the samples. Finally, the adjusted P values from the individual tests were combined to compute the overall P values using Stouffers method , and genes with overall P < 0.05 and fold change > 1.5 were selected as DEGs. WBPaper00047131:daf-2(e1370)_upregulated_N2-background
  Genes that showed expression levels higher than the corresponding reference sample (L2 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.
