Genetic screens in Caenorhabditis elegans models for neurodegenerative diseases
11 Feb 2014
Abstract excerpt
Caenorhabditis elegans comprises unique features that make it an attractive model organism in diverse fields of biology. Genetic screens are powerful to identify genes and C. elegans can be customized to forward or reverse genetic screens and to establish gene function. These genetic screens can be applied to "humanized" models of C. elegans for neurodegenerative diseases, enabling for example the identification...
