Fifty Shades of Worm is a modern love story to be embraced by all C. elegans scientists. Visionary director Michael Hoy partners with Walhout Films to bring this microscopic romance to life. This trailer premiered during the 2015 International C. … Continue reading →
Gene regulatory networks (GRNs) consist of physical and regulatory interactions between transcription factors (TFs) and their DNA targets. While many disease-associated DNA mutations have been identified in protein coding regions of the human genome, the vast majority of these mutations … Continue reading →
Gene regulatory networks (GRNs) comprising interactions between transcription factors (TFs) and regulatory loci control development and physiology. Numerous disease-associated mutations have been identified, the vast majority residing in non-coding regions of the genome. As current GRN mapping methods test one … Continue reading →

Micronutrients are required in small proportions in a diet to carry out key metabolic roles for biomass and energy production. Humans receive micronutrients either directly from their diet or from gut microbiota that metabolize other nutrients. The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans … Continue reading →
