C. elegans

Caenorhabditis elegans has been a popular model organism for biological research for over thirty years with a dramatic increase in interest since the publication of the entire genome sequence in 1998. It is currently the only multicellular animal to have its entire genome sequenced. This Practical Approach book provides all the essential background information required for use of C. elegans as a model system and includes information on how to use the genome sequence information.
