Transfer at C. elegans Synapses
... Transmitter release at graded synapses is usually not only sustained, but also activated at low presynaptic voltages. Consequently, depolarization as well as hyper- polarization of the presynaptic neuron can cause ...

URI 1 is required for DNA stability in C elegans
... To further investigate the potential effect of loss of uri-1 function on cell cycle progression, we examined the nuclear morphology of germline cells in wild-type, uri-1(lf) and uri-1(RNAi)F1 animals stained with DAPI ...

Actin dependent cytoplasmic streaming in C elegans oogenesis
... Because particle transport in animal and plant cells often requires microtubules and/or actomyosin, we asked whether either system was required for proximal streaming in the C. elegans gonad. Standard ...

Analysis of centriole elimination during C elegans oogenesis
... In C. elegans, the loss of MTOC function early during oogenesis, followed by centriole elimination at a later time, can also be viewed as two redundant mechanisms ensuring that no microtubule organizing ...

On predicting regulatory genes by analysis of functional networks in C. elegans
... To test our algorithm on a larger set of highly interconnected and co-expressed genes we selected a group of genes involved in translation that had a strong co-expression pattern in two C.elegans strains [15–17]. The ...
