The early bird catches the worm: new technologies for the Caenorhabditis elegans toolkit
The nematode wormCaenorhabditis eleganshas long been a key model organism, not least owing to its powerful genetic toolkit. Recent technological advances — for example, in manipulating gene expression and physiology — further increase the power of the worm as a model.
