WormNet v3: a network-assisted hypothesis-generating server for Caenorhabditis elegans
High-throughput experimental technologies gradually shift the paradigm of biological research from hypothesis-validation toward hypothesis-generation science. Translating diverse types of large-scale experimental data into testable hypotheses, however, remains a daunting task. We previously demonstrated that heterogeneous genomics data can be integrated into a single genome-scale gene network w...
متن کاملComputer-Assisted Transgenesis of Caenorhabditis elegans for Deep Phenotyping
A major goal in the study of human diseases is to assign functions to genes or genetic variants. The model organism Caenorhabditis elegans provides a powerful tool because homologs of many human genes are identifiable, and large collections of genetic vectors and mutant strains are available. However, the delivery of such vector libraries into mutant strains remains a long-standing experimental...
متن کاملA pharmacological network for lifespan extension in Caenorhabditis elegans
One goal of aging research is to find drugs that delay the onset of age-associated disease. Studies in invertebrates, particularly Caenorhabditis elegans, have uncovered numerous genes involved in aging, many conserved in mammals. However, which of these encode proteins suitable for drug targeting is unknown. To investigate this question, we screened a library of compounds with known mammalian ...
متن کاملA connectivity model for the locomotor network of Caenorhabditis elegans
Recently, we described a new method for representing and analyzing the connectivity of a motoneuronal network. We used it to deduce a connectivity model for the neuromuscular network that generates locomotion in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans. The network regulates muscle contraction and for this reason we used the location or function of body wall muscles to map every element (neuron or m...
متن کاملA Gene Regulatory Network for Cell Differentiation in Caenorhabditis elegans
Biological development is a remarkably complex process. A single cell, in an appropriate environment, contains enough information to produce a wide variety of specialised cell types, whose spatial and temporal dynamics interact to form intricately detailed patterns and behaviour. Much of the complexity of a developing system lies in the dynamics of gene regulation that occur within each cell. W...
