Computer evolution of chemotaxis in model nematodes.

tration. Since each segment follows the one in front of it during sinusoidal locomotion, the nematode body is represented by head location and velocity, with head direction controlled by the action of 2 opposing neck muscles. Finally, the model neural circuit consists of 2 chemosensory neurons and 2 neck muscle neurons, each representing identified classes of neurons in C. elegans , whose synap...

In silico evolution of chemotaxis

Bacteria are able to sense their environment and move towards sources of attractant and away from sources of repellent through the process of chemotaxis. The best understood model for chemotaxis comes from Escherichia coli, where the biochemical pathways have been extensively studied. In E. coli, the bacterium switches between swimming and tumbling based on the changes in the local concentratio...

Spatiotemporal evolution in a (2+1)-dimensional chemotaxis model

Simulations are performed to investigate the nonlinear dynamics of a (2+1)-dimensional chemotaxis model of Keller-Segel (KS) type with a logistic growth term. Because of its ability to display auto-aggregation, the KS model has been widely used to simulate self-organization in many biological systems. We show that the corresponding dynamics may lead to a steady-state, divergence in a finite tim...

Evolution of small nucleolar RNAs in nematodes

In contrast to mRNAs, which are templates for translating proteins, non-protein coding (npc) RNAs (also known as 'non-coding' RNA, ncRNA), exhibit various functions in different compartments and developmental stages of the cell. Small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs), one of the largest classes of npcRNAs, guide post-transcriptional modifications of other RNAs that are crucial for appropriate RNA foldi...
