	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.

• Primary Identifier: Expr1051
• Pattern: The unc-130::GFP construct is expressed in a dynamic pattern during embryogenesis in head hypodermal cells, as well as in muscle and intestinal precursor cells. In adults, unc-130::GFP is observed in ventral muscle, as well as in intestine and other cells in the head and tail. In adult males, unc-130 is also expressed in the structural cells and two neurons of each ray.

• Primary Identifier: Expr1032904
• Pattern: Tiling arrays expression graphs

• Primary Identifier: Expr1050
• Pattern: UNC-130 is expressed strongly in embryos and in L1 larvae. Expression is severely reduced or absent in later larval and adult stages. Embryonic expression is first observed at about the 60-cell stage, when it is expressed in the nuclei of four cells. As embryogenesis continues, UNC-130 becomes more broadly expressed in several cell types. Double-stained embryos with antibodies against the LIN-26 protein that stain hypodermal cells found strong UNC-130 expression in the ABp(l/r)aapapa cells, which give rise to the AWA and ASG neurons. At this developmental stage, UNC-130 is also expressed in several other neuronal precursors including the ABp(l/r)aapapp cells, which are the precursors to the AIB interneurons and the ASI chemosensory neurons. In addition, UNC-130 is expressed in other cell types, including the hypodermal cells hyp4, hyp5, hyp6, hyp7, H0, and H1, as determined by colocalization with LIN-26 antibodies. Colocalization of UNC-130 with ODR-7 and tax-2::GFP in wild-type animals failed to observe colocalization of UNC-130 with either of these markers.
• Subcellular Localization: UNC-130 is localized to the nuclei of all expressing cells.

• Pattern: Inferred Expression. EPIC dataset. http://epic.gs.washington.edu/ Large-scale cellular resolution compendium of gene expression dynamics throughout development. This reporter was inferred to be expressing in this cell or one of its embryonic progenitor cells as described below. To generate a compact description of which cells express a particular reporter irrespective of time, the authors defined a metric "peak expression" for each of the 671 terminal ("leaf") cells born during embryogenesis. For each of these cells, the peak expression is the maximal reporter intensity observed in that cell or any of its ancestors; this has the effect of transposing earlier expression forward in time to the terminal set of cells. This metric allows straightforward comparisons of genes' cellular and lineal expression overlap, even when the expression occurs with different timing and despite differences in the precise time point that curation ended in different movies, at the cost of ignoring the temporal dynamics of expression, a topic that requires separate treatment. For simplicity, the authors use the term "expressing cells" to mean the number of leaf cells (of 671) with peak expression greater than background (2000 intensity units) and at least 10% of the maximum expression in that embryo.

• Primary Identifier: Expr12999
• Pattern: The UNC-130 signal was first detectable in bean stage embryos (360 min after first cleavage at 22°C) in almost all ventral BWMs; much later than previously reported (Nash et al., 2000). No UNC-130 signal was detected in any dorsal BWM or its precursor during embryogenesis. By the 1.5-fold stage of embryogenesis (460 min) when differentiation is underway, the UNC-130 signal was clearly visible in all ventral BWMs with the exception of one or two left-right pairs located at the anterior end, consistent with unc-129 expression patterns previously described and discussed below ( Colavita et al., 1998). The anterior half of ventral BWMs consistently had a stronger superGFP signal than their posterior counterparts even though UNC-120 antibody signals were uniform among all BWMs. Confidence that the genome edited superGFP strain reflected endogenous unc-130 expression came from observations that the ventral BWM pattern completely overlapped (and extended) the BWM pattern obtained using rat polyclonal antibodies raised against the UNC-130 protein, UNC-130::GFP and UNC-130::mCh translational fusion reporter expression patterns, and unc-130::gfp transcriptional reporter patterns that were all observed predominantly in mid-body, often MS-derived ventral BWMs. Post-embryonically, the signal from the superGFP-edited allele was too faint in BWMs to detect in live animals, mimicking weak antibody staining that was observed in young larvae and early larval signals from the unc-130::gfp transcriptional reporters.
