WormMine: Gene WBGene00005021

• WormBase Gene ID: WBGene00005021
• Gene Name: sqv-3
• Sequence Name: R10E11.4
• Brief Description: sqv-3 encodes a beta(1,4)-galactosyltransferase, biochemically active in vitro, that is required for cytokinesis of one-cell embryos, vulval morphogenesis, and chondroitin synthesis; SQV-3 is orthologous to human human galactosyltransferase I (B4GALT7; OMIM:604327, mutated in the progeroid form of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome); sqv-3 transgenically rescues hamster cells lacking galactosyl transferase I; the common requirement for SQV-3 in both cytokinesis and morphogenesis may be to promote filling an extracellular space with hygroscopic proteoglycans (either in the eggshell, or underneath the L4 cuticle), which in turn may cause the space to fill with fluid.
• Organism: Caenorhabditis elegans
• Automated Description: Enables galactosyltransferase activity. Involved in several processes, including egg-laying behavior; positive regulation of axon regeneration; and proteoglycan biosynthetic process. Located in membrane. Used to study Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Ehlers-Danlos syndrome spondylodysplastic type 1. Is an ortholog of human B4GALT7 (beta-1,4-galactosyltransferase 7).
• Biotype: SO:0001217

	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
	Strictly maternal class (SM): genes that are the subset of maternal genes that are not also classified as embryonic.	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_SM

	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.

Comparisons of each genotype were compared to the wild-type using the Empirical Base (Wright & Simon) algorithm and fold changes were represented on a log2 scale. A threshold of p < 0.05 and a fold change of 1.3 (log2) was set to determine differentially expressed targets.	WBPaper00045263:nuo-6(qm200)_upregulated

	Transcripts that showed significantly decreased expression in pals-22(jy3) comparing to in N2 at L4 larva stage.	Differential expression analysis was performed in RStudio (v1.1.453) using R (v3.50) and Bioconductor (v3.7) packages. As outlined in the RNAseq123 vignette, data was imported, filtered and normalized using edgeR, and linear modeling and differential expression analysis was performed using limma. An FDR cutoff of <0.01 was used to define differentially expressed genes; no fold-change criteria was used.	WBPaper00056034:pals-22(jy3)_downregulated
	Transcripts enriched in germline by comparing dissected germline tissue with dissected intestine tissue, both injected with empty RNAi vector.	Genes were determined germline-enriched if the lowest expression value (log2(FPKM+1)) observed in the germline empty vector samples was at least 2-fold higher than the highest expression value observed in the intestine empty vector samples.

Bacteria infection: Xenorhabdus nematophila	Caenorhabditis elegans Genes with expression levels changed significantly after treatment of Xenorhabdus nematophila.

Genes differentially expressed in control vs under EtBr treatment without UVC exposure, at the -1h timepoint.	Transcripts were defined as fold-change >1.2, p < 0.05 based on Rosetta Resolver analysis for all pairwise treatment comparisons. The fold-change refers to the second intensity over the first.
