Maintenance of C. elegans [PDF]
WormBook, 1999 Abstract Wild-type and mutant stocks of Caenorhabditis elegans are available from the Caenorhabditis Genetics Center (CGC). C. elegans is easily grown in the laboratory, with stocks routinely maintained on agar-filled Petri plates. However, they can be grown in liquid culture when larger quantities of worms are needed.

High uric acid model in Caenorhabditis elegans
Food Science and Human Wellness, 2019 To establish experimental high uric acid model in C. elegans. Hypoxanthine, adenine, xanthine, and uric acid were used to treat C. elegans and then hyperuricemic C. elegans was evaluated by allopurinol. Hyperuricemic C. elegans were obtained after normal

Mechanisms of microRNA mediated gene silencing in C. elegans [PDF]
, 2009 Mechanisms of microRNA mediated gene silencing in C. elegans Xavier Ding Dissertation abstract microRNAs (miRNAs) are a large family of small non-coding RNAs, which post-transcriptionally repress numerous genes; a type of regulation which is ...

Transposons in C. elegans [PDF]
WormBook, 2006 Transposons are discrete segments of DNA capable of moving through the genome of their host via an RNA intermediate in the case of class I retrotransposon or via a "cut-and-paste" mechanism for class II DNA transposons. Since transposons take advantage of their host's cellular machinery to proliferate in the genome and enter new hosts, transposable ...

Annotation of two large contiguous regions from the Haemonchus contortus genome using RNA-seq and comparative analysis with Caenorhabditis elegans [PDF]
, 2011 The genomes of numerous parasitic nematodes are currently being sequenced, but their complexity and size, together with high levels of intra-specific sequence variation and a lack of reference genomes, makes their assembly and annotation a challenging ...

Soil nematode Caenorhabditis elegans Maupas as a convenient model organism to study anthelmintic activity of plant extracts [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2020 The article deals with the study of the possibility to use free-living soil nematode C. elegans in researches of anthelmintic activity of plant raw material. A. sativum juice and aqueous extract of T. vulgare flowers were used in experiments. It is shown

Chemosensation in C. elegans [PDF]
WormBook, 2006 C. elegans has a highly developed chemosensory system that enables it to detect a wide variety of volatile (olfactory) and water-soluble (gustatory) cues associated with food, danger, or other animals. Much of its nervous system and more than 5% of its genes are devoted to the recognition of environmental chemicals.

Bimodal activation of different neuron classes with the spectrally red-shifted channelrhodopsin chimera C1V1 in Caenorhabditis elegans [PDF]
, 2012 The C. elegans nervous system is particularly well suited for optogenetic analyses of circuit function: Essentially all connections have been mapped, and light can be directed at the neuron of interest in the freely moving, transparent animals, while ...
