In silico molecular comparisons of C. elegans and mammalian pharmacology identify distinct targets that regulate feeding.

Abstract excerpt

Phenotypic screens can identify molecules that are at once penetrant and active on the integrated circuitry of a whole cell or organism. These advantages are offset by the need to identify the targets underlying the phenotypes. Additionally, logistical considerations limit screening for certain physiological and behavioral phenotypes to organisms such as zebrafish and C. elegans. This further raises the challenge...
