Functional genomic analysis of cell division in C. elegans using RNAi of genes on chromosome III
Article Abstract:
Research is presented on a functional genome screen used to determine the genes that Caenorhabditis elegans needs for cell division. Researchers used RNA-mediated interference of genes in chromosome III, and identified 133 genes necessary for early-embryonic distinct cellular processes.

Polarity controls forces governing asymmetric spindle positioning in the Caenorhabditis elegans embryo
Article Abstract:
Research is presented concerning the creation of daughter cells by cell division in a single-cell-stage embryo of Caenorhabditis elegans. The generation of daughter cells of differing size is discussed.

The conserved protein DCN-1/Dcn1p is required for cullin neddylation in C. elegans and S. cerevisiae
Article Abstract:
The identification and analysis of a widely conserved protein that is required for cullin neddylation in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans and the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae is reported. Caenorhabditis elegans DCN-1 and Saccharomyces cerevisiae DCN1p are characterized by a novel UBA like ubiquitin-binding domian and a DUF298 domain of unknown function.
