Abstract excerpt
Caenorhabditis elegans is the first and only metazoan model that enables whole-body gene knockdown by simply feeding their standard laboratory diet, E. coli, carrying RNA interference (RNAi)-expressing constructs. The simplicity of the RNAi treatment, small size, and fast reproduction rate of C. elegans allow us to perform whole-animal high-throughput genetic screens in wild-type, mutant, or otherwise genetically...
