Animal virus replication and RNAi-mediated antiviral silencing in Caenorhabditis elegans
Article Abstract:
Worm Caenorhabditis elegans is a model system used for many aspects of biology including studying host responses to bacterial pathogens but is not known to support replication of any virus. A new model genetic system Caenorhabditis elegans studies animal virus host interaction and indicates that mammals might use an antiviral response.

Full-genome RNAi profiling of early embryogenesis in Caenorhabditis elegans
Article Abstract:
A study was conducted to identify all genes essential for mitotic cell division in a metazoan organism. A phenotypic profiling system was developed to show high correlation with cellar processes and biochemical pathways, thus enabling to predict new functions for previously uncharacterized genes.
