Identification of ciliary and ciliopathy genes in Caenorhabditis elegansthrough comparative genomics
22 Dec 2006
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The recent availability of genome sequences of multiple related Caenorhabditis species has made it possible to identify, using comparative genomics, similarly transcribed genes in Caenorhabditis elegans and its sister species. Taking this approach, we have identified numerous novel ciliary genes in C. elegans, some of which may be orthologs of unidentified human ciliopathy genes. RESULTS: By screening...
