WormMine: Gene WBGene00003041

• WormBase Gene ID: WBGene00003041
• Gene Name: lin-61
• Sequence Name: R06C7.7
• Brief Description: lin-61 encodes a protein that contains four malignant brain tumor (MBT) repeats and is similar to the human and mouse lethal (3) malignant brain tumor 2 [L(3)MBT2] proteins; LIN-61 is predicted to function in a transcriptional regulatory complex that may play a role in transcriptional repression during development; loss of lin-61 activity via RNAi and mutation indicates that LIN-61 is required for: 1) genome stability in the soma and germline, and 2) postembryonic developmental processes such as vulval development, in which lin-61 acts as a class B synthetic multivulval (SynMuv) gene and as a candidate transcriptional repressor of genes such at mat-3; LIN-61 is broadly expressed throughout development, from the one-cell embryo through adulthood, and localizes to nuclei.
• Organism: Caenorhabditis elegans
• Automated Description: Predicted to enable chromatin binding activity and methylated histone binding activity. Involved in vulval development. Located in nucleus. Part of chromatin. Expressed widely. Is an ortholog of human L3MBTL2 (L3MBTL histone methyl-lysine binding protein 2) and MBTD1 (mbt domain containing 1).

	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.

	Proteins interacting with NHR-49-GFP according to co-IP and LC-MS.	N.A.	WBPaper00064071:NHR-49_interacting
	Transcripts expressed in hypodermis, according to PAT-Seq analysis using Pdpy-7-GFP-3XFLAG mRNA tagging.	Cufflinks FPKM value >=1.	WBPaper00050990:hypodermis_expressed
	Transcripts expressed in intestine, according to PAT-Seq analysis using Pges-1-GFP-3XFLAG mRNA tagging.	Cufflinks FPKM value >=1.	WBPaper00050990:intestine_expressed
	Maternal class (M): genes that are called present in at least one of the three PC6 replicates.	A modified Welch F statistic was used for ANOVA. For each gene, regressed error estimates were substituted for observed error estimates. The substitution is justified by the lack of consistency among the most and least variable genes at each time point. Regressed error estimates were abundance-dependent pooled error estimates that represented a median error estimate from a window of genes of similar abundance to the gene of interest. A randomization test was used to compute the probability Pg of the observed F statistic for gene g under the null hypothesis that developmental time had no effect on expression. P-values were not corrected for multiple testing.	[cgc5767]:expression_class_M
