<em>C. elegans</em> Development and Reproduction

Description

Ceanorhabditis elegans is a powerful tool to help understand how organisms develop from a single cell into a vast interconnected array of functioning tissues. Early work in C. elegans traced the complete cell lineage and structure at the electron microscopy level, allowing researchers unprecedented insight into the connection ...

Transcript

Caenorhabditis elegans is an anatomically small and genetically simple multicellular organism with an invariant pattern of development. Despite the fact that other organisms, like vertebrates, have more variable developmental programs, research on worm development and reproduction has yielded important insights into ...
