Caenorhabditis elegans is a nematode.
Caenorhabditis elegans is a rhabditid nematode. What relevance does this have for the interpretation of the complete genome sequence, and how will it affect the exploitation of the sequence for scientific and social ends? Nematodes are only distantly related to humans and other animal groups; will this limit the universality of the C. elegans story? Many nematodes are parasites; can knowledge o...
متن کاملThe Nematode Caenorhabditis elegans: Oxidative Stress and Aging in the Nematode Caenorhabditis elegans
The senescent decline that leads inevitably to death in most animal species is accompanied by a massive increase in molecular damage. Yet, the chain of events that initially causes this process, and the determinants of the rate at which it happens, remain poorly understood. For many years, much research on this topic has been guided by an interrelated set of theories that view oxidative damage ...
متن کاملNeurogenesis in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans.
The nervous system represents the most complex tissue of C. elegans both in terms of numbers (302 neurons and 56 glial cells = 37% of the somatic cells in a hermaphrodite) and diversity (118 morphologically distinct neuron classes). The lineage and morphology of each neuron type has been described in detail and neuronal fate markers exists for virtually all neurons in the form of fluorescent re...
متن کاملDietary restriction in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans.
The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans has proved to be an excellent model organism for the study of development and aging. Many aging mutants have been discovered in the past two decades, and much has been discovered about the physiology of long-lived mutants. It therefore seems surprising that dietary restriction (DR) has not been extensively studied using C. elegans. The main reason for this is...
متن کاملCaenorhabditis Elegans—Applications to Nematode Genomics
The complete genome sequence of the free-living nematode Caenorhabditis elegans was published 4 years ago. Since then, we have seen great strides in technologies that seek to exploit this data. Here we describe the application of some of these techniques and other advances that are helping us to understand about not only the biology of this important model organism but also the entire phylum Ne...
