High-throughput, motility-based sorter for microswimmers such as C. elegans.
Animal motility varies with genotype, disease, aging, and environmental conditions. In many studies, it is desirable to carry out high throughput motility-based sorting to isolate rare animals for, among other things, forward genetic screens to identify genetic pathways that regulate phenotypes of interest. Many commonly used screening processes are labor-intensive, lack sensitivity, and requir...
متن کاملHigh-throughput expression of C. elegans proteins.
Proteome-scale studies of protein three-dimensional structures should provide valuable information for both investigating basic biology and developing therapeutics. Critical for these endeavors is the expression of recombinant proteins. We selected Caenorhabditis elegans as our model organism in a structural proteomics initiative because of the high quality of its genome sequence and the availa...
متن کاملHigh-throughput Cell Sorter with Piezoelectric Actuation.
Currently, most of the integrated sorting modules in the microfabricated DEP-based and fluorescent-activated cell sorters (μFACS) still suffer from low-throughput operation and require complex fabrication process (e.g. embedded electrodes) and high power consumption (e.g. electrokinetically-driven sorters). In this paper, we demonstrate an easy-to-fabricate, low-powered and high-speed sorting m...
متن کاملWhole-animal high-throughput screens: the C. elegans model.
The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans shows a high degree of conservation of molecular pathways related to human disease, yet is only 1-mm long and can be considered as a microorganism. Because of the development of a simple but systematic RNA-interference (RNAi) methodology, C. elegans is the only metazoan in which the impact of "knocking-down" nearly every gene in the genome can be analyzed in ...
متن کاملHigh-throughput screening and biosensing with fluorescent C. elegans strains.
High-throughput screening (HTS) is a powerful approach for identifying chemical modulators of biological processes. However, many compounds identified in screens using cell culture models are often found to be toxic or pharmacologically inactive in vivo(1-2). Screening in whole animal models can help avoid these pitfalls and streamline the path to drug development. C. elegans is a multicellular...
