An Introduction to <em>Caenorhabditis elegans</em>

Description

Caenorhabditis elegans is a microscopic, soil-dwelling roundworm that has been powerfully used as a model organism since the early 1970’s. It was initially proposed as a model for developmental biology because of its invariant body plan, ease of genetic manipulation and low cost of maintenance. Since then C. elegans has...

Transcript

Caenorhabditis elegans, or "worms" to the scientists who study them, have revolutionized the way we approach genetic studies to understand how genes regulate cellular activities. The worm’s simple genetics, transparent body, and ease of cultivation makes them an ideal system for studying embryonic dev...
