Salmon was used to map the mRNA-seq reads with the worm database WS268, and its output files were imported to DESeq2 in R.

WBPaper00061479:hda-1(ne4752)_upregulated
	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: Expr7804
• Remark: Picture: Fig 3D to 3R. To define the specific cellular requirement, the onset of mab-7 expression in these cells was correlated with the first appearance of ray swelling in mab-7 mutant males. Ray abnormality first appeared when ray retraction started, which was well before mab-7::gfp expression in the structural cells was detectable prior to the final molting. The hypodermal expression profile of mab-7 at the late L4 stage, however, matched perfectly with the timing of this ray morphogenesis.
• Pattern: Transgenic animals carrying these reporters displayed identical GFP signals in their hypodermis, structural cells, vulva, PQR, body seams and several neuronal processes in the head region at different developmental stages. The onset of mab-7::gfp expression was first detected in the hypodermis at the 2-fold stage. This hypodermal signal stayed on throughout the larval stages until the animals entered their adulthood. However, GFP expression in the body seam appeared only after the L4 stage and was maintained in adults. In the male tail, a GFP signal was detected at the late L4 stage in the structural cells when the ray retraction process was almost complete but prior to molting. This structural cell expression was also maintained in adults.
