unusual facts about Comparative overview of the major types of vertebrate N-glycan subtypes and some representative ''Caenorhabditis elegans



Bioastronautics

This may take the form of accelerated growth in organisms as diverse as worms like C. elegans to miniature parasitoid wasps such as Spangia endius.

Caspase

H. Robert Horvitz initially established the importance of caspases in apoptosis and found that the ced-3 gene is required for the cell death that took place during the development of the nematode C. elegans.

Cdc14

The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans makes one Cdc14 (CdCdc14), which localizes to the spindle and centrosomes in mitosis, and to the cytoplasm at interphase.

Cell junction

Invertebrates have several other types of specific junctions, for example septate junctions or the C. elegans apical junction.

Connotea

By categorising articles with relevant keywords e.g. "C. elegans", the social aspect of Connotea was developed.

Cytoplasmic determinant

It is most of all known in certain animals as nematodes C. elegans, or ascidians (marine animals).

Daf-16

DAF-16 is the sole ortholog of the FOXO family of transcription factors in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans.

David Baulcombe

In 1998 Craig Mello and Andrew Fire reported a potent gene silencing effect after injecting double stranded RNA into C. elegans.

Dosage compensation

Dosage compensation may occur in other organisms like the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster, the roundworm Caenorhabditis elegans and the plant White campion (Silene latifolia).

Emodepside

and inhibiting locomotive and pharyngeal movement in Caenorhabditis elegans in addition to having effects in other tissues such as the inhibition of egg laying.

ETS transcription factor family

There are 29 genes in humans, 28 in the mouse, 10 in Caenorhabditis elegans and 9 in Drosophila.

In addition, Ets factors, e.g. the vertebrate Etv1 and the invertebrate Ast-1, have been shown to be important players in the specification and differentiation of dopaminergic neurons in both C. elegans and olfactory bulbs of mice.

FOXP2 and human evolution

For example, LIN-3, a forkhead protein in C. Elegans, regulates vulva development and when phosphorylated acts as a transcriptional activator, promoting cells to adopt a particular cell type.

Information Hyperlinked over Proteins

The network presented in iHOP currently contains 28.4 million sentences and 110,000 genes from over 2,700 organisms, including Homo sapiens, Mus musculus, Drosophila melanogaster, Caenorhabditis elegans, Danio rerio, Arabidopsis thaliana, Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Escherichia coli.

Isopentenyl-diphosphate delta isomerase

Mutations in IDI1, the gene that codes for IPP isomerase 1, have been implicated in decreased viability in a number of organisms, including the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans and the plant Arabidopsis thaliana.

Nuclear lamina

Not all organisms have the same number of lamin encoding genes; Drosophila melanogaster for example has only 2 genes, whereas Caenorhabditis elegans has only one.

RBM9

RBM9 is one of several human genes similar to the C. elegans gene Fox-1.

Small-world experiment

They showed that networks from both the natural and man-made world, such as the neural network of C. elegans and power grids, exhibit the small-world phenomenon.

Watts and Strogatz model

Consequently, the model is able to at least partially explain the "small-world" phenomena in a variety of networks, such as the power grid, neural network of C. elegans, and a network of movie actors.
