Comparative genomics of 10 new Caenorhabditis species

Evolution Letters, 2019
The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans has been central to the understanding of metazoan biology. However, C. elegans is but one species among millions and the significance of this important model organism will only be fully revealed if it is placed in a ...

Novel infection by Mucor hiemalis kills Caenorhabditis hosts through intestinal perforation

Infection and Immunity
The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans has emerged as a popular model system to investigate cell biology and host-pathogen interactions. Presently, C. elegans is studied as a natural host of intracellular pathogens such as microsporidia and Orsay virus ...

Profiling the anaerobic response of C. elegans using GC-MS. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans is a model organism that has seen extensive use over the last four decades in multiple areas of investigation. In this study we explore the response of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans to acute anoxia using gas ...

Data in support of genome-wide identification of lineage-specific genes within Caenorhabditis elegans

Data in Brief, 2015
Two sets of LSGs were identified using BLAST: Caenorhabditis elegans species-specific genes (SSGs, 1423), and Caenorhabditis genus-specific genes (GSGs, 4539).

The compact genome of Caenorhabditis niphades n. sp., isolated from a wood-boring weevil, Niphades variegatus

BMC Genomics, 2022
Background The first metazoan genome sequenced, that of Caenorhabditis elegans, has motivated animal genome evolution studies. To date > 50 species from the genus Caenorhabditis have been sequenced, allowing research on genome variation.

CAENORHABDITIS ELEGANS AND ANGIOGENESIS

TURKISH MEDICAL STUDENT JOURNAL, 2019
Abstract: Angiogenesis is sprouting of new capillaries from already existing ones. It is a dynamic process that can be seen in every phase of human life. It is among the dynamic mechanisms of both physiological and pathological processes. Vascular endothelial growth factor is one of the many molecules that play a role in angiogenesis.

Transcriptional adaptation in Caenorhabditis elegans

eLife, 2020
Transcriptional adaptation is a recently described phenomenon by which a mutation in one gene leads to the transcriptional modulation of related genes, termed adapting genes. At the molecular level, it has been proposed that the mutant mRNA, rather than the loss of protein function, activates this response.

Recent progresses on anti-aging compounds and their targets in Caenorhabditis elegans

Translational Medicine of Aging, 2019
Searching for drugs that extend healthy lifespan and the subsequent analysis of their mechanisms of action is a crucial aspect for aging research. However, identifying both longevity-enhancing drugs and their corresponding targets is challenging.
