[i] Significance indicates the probability of the null hypothesis that no difference exists between the expression in both dauer and mixed stage populations, determined by the G test (Sokal and Rohlf 1995).
[ii] Indicates genes for which SAGE tags could not unambiguously identify the transcript profile.
