Neurogenetics, in Caenorhabditis elegans
The human brain is an extraordinarily complex and beautiful organ. It has one hundred billion neurons and an inestimable number of synaptic connections. Since there are very few opportunities to ethically test experimental hypotheses on the human brain, we rely on model organisms to understand how neurons work in humans. Such an organism, the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, with a total of onl...
متن کاملCaenorhabditis Elegans
Transparent, free-living nematode worm. Unsegmented body plan with full set of differentiated tissues (neural, endoderm, ectoderm and muscle). Genome size approximately 97 Mb, as five autosomes and one X sex chromosome. Fully sequenced genome, which comprises approximately 20 000 predicted genes. Defined cell lineage. Has made major contribution to studies of development, cell-to-cell signallin...
متن کاملCaenorhabditis elegans
The complete structure of the anterior sensory nervous system of the small nematode C . elegans has been determined by reconstruction from serial section electronmicrographs. There are 58 neurons in the tip of the head. Fiftytwo of these are arranged in sensilla. These include six inner labial sensilla, six outer labial sensilla, four cephalic sensilla and two amphids. Each sensillum consists o...
متن کاملChromosome in Caenorhabditis elegans
Twelve new X chromosome duplications were identified and characterized. Eight are translocated to autosomal sites near four different telomeres, and four are free. Ten include unc-l(+), which in wild type is near the left end of the X chromosome, and two of these, mnDp72(X;ZV) and m n D p 7 3 ( X f ) , extend rightward past dpy-3. Both mnDp72 and mnDp73 recombined with the one X chromosome in m...
متن کاملTocotrienol Modulates the Expression of Proteins in Oxidative Stress-Induced Caenorhabditis Elegans
Objective: Oxidative stress that damages proteins result in aging and age related diseases. The aim of this study is to determine the effect of tocotrienol rich fraction (TRF) on the expression of proteins in oxidative stress-induced caenohabditis elegans (C.elegans) which has homologous genes to humans. Methods: The worms were treated with TRF prior to, after and continuously in separate group...
