Series Editor: B. D. Hames
This book provides all the information you need to start working on
Caenorhabditis elegans. It begins by giving basic background about the
organism: its natural history, anatomy, life cycle, development, and
evolution. The rest of the volume is an outstanding collection of
methods that describe how to use C. elegans in research. Topics covered
include: obtaining growing and maintaining C. elegans; the elegans
genome project, genome sequence database searching and analysis;
transformation of C. elegans; reverse genetic techniques such as gene
inactivation by RNA mediated interference and germ line gene
deletion; analysis of phenotypes by Nomarski, fluorescence, 4-
dimensional, and electron microscopy; C. elegans neurobiology;
approaches for studying gene expression; gene characterization;
procedures for producing biochemically useful preparations;
conventional genetics with procedures for selfing and crossing,
mutagenesis and mutant screening, characterization of mutants, gene
mapping, temperature-shift experiments and mosaic analysis.
C. elegans: A Practical Approach is a comprehensive source of data,
helpful advice and detailed protocols for all researchers who use this
organism in their research. If you intend to start working on C. elegans,
this is the practical guide you need.
