Why we need more ecology for genetic models such as C. elegans.

Trends in genetics : TIG - 1 Mar 2015

Petersen Carola, Dirksen Philipp, Schulenburg Hinrich

Abstract excerpt

Functional information about the large majority of the genes is still lacking in the classical eukaryotic model species Drosophila melanogaster, Caenorhabditis elegans, and Mus musculus. Because many of these genes are likely to be important in natural settings, considering explicit ecological information should increase our knowledge of gene function. Using C. elegans as an example, we discuss the importance of...
