Contrasting invertebrate immune defense behaviors caused by a single gene, the Caenorhabditis elegans neuropeptide receptor gene npr-1

Table 1 Number of up- and down-regulated genes in the N2 and npr-1(ur89) strains

RNAseq was used to assess variation in gene expression among the C. elegans N2 and npr-1(ur89) mutant strain in response to exposure to nematocidal B. thuringiensis B-18247 and P. aeruginosa PA14, always relative to the respective E. coli OP50 control. Gene expression variation was studied at two time points, 12 h and 24 h after initial exposure. The results are shown separately for the up- and down-regulated genes (top and bottom part of the table, respectively)
