WormMine: Gene WBGene00004973

• WormBase Gene ID: WBGene00004973
• Gene Name: spe-27
• Sequence Name: C06E7.6
• Brief Description: spe-27 encodes a novel, hydrophilic protein; spe-27 is required for hermaphrodite spermatogenesis or sperm activation but not for male-derived sperm activation (sperm activation is the morphogenesis of a round non-motile spermatid to an amoeboid crawling sperm); however, mutant hermaphrodite spe-27 spermatids can transactivate and form functional sperm during mating with males; genetic and phenotypic evidence suggests that spe-27 acts in a common pathway with spe-8, spe-12, spe-19 and spe-29.
• Organism: Caenorhabditis elegans
• Automated Description: Involved in spermatid development. Expressed in sperm; spermatocyte; and in male.

	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.

6 Expression Patterns

• Primary Identifier: Expr2034271
• 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. Interactive visualizations are available as a web app (https://cello.shinyapps.io/celegans/) and can also be installed as an R package (https://github.com/qinzhu/VisCello.celegans).

• Primary Identifier: Expr1562
• Pattern: spe-27 message were detected in the testis. The transcript seems to be absent in spermatogonial cells undergoing mitosis, but is present in the spermatocytes. The message is also present in the residual bodies but absent in the spermatids. No hybridization to somatic tissues was observed.
