Journal ArticleDOI

A spatial and temporal map of C. elegans gene expression

TL;DR: By using cell-specific, whole-genome profiling strategies, a large number of novel transcripts are detected and high-resolution gene expression maps are produced that provide a basis for establishing the roles of individual genes in cellular differentiation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dimerization partners determine the activity of the Twist bHLH protein during Drosophila mesoderm development.

TL;DR: The basic helix-loop-helix transcription factor Twist regulates a series of distinct cell fate decisions within the Drosophila mesodermal lineage and provides a paradigm for understanding how the same protein controls a sequence of events within a single lineage.
Journal ArticleDOI

acr-16 encodes an essential subunit of the levamisole-resistant nicotinic receptor at the Caenorhabditis elegans neuromuscular junction.

TL;DR: Genetic ablation of both the levamisole-sensitive receptor and acr-16 abolished all cholinergic synaptic currents at the NMJ and severely impaired C. elegans locomotion, suggesting that ACR-16, like its closest vertebrate homolog, the nicotinic receptor α7-subunit, may form homomeric receptors in vivo.
Journal ArticleDOI

A gene expression fingerprint of C. elegans embryonic motor neurons

TL;DR: A microarray-based method, MAPCeL, is described for profiling gene expression in specific C. elegans motor neurons and evidence is provided that this approach can reveal candidate genes for key roles in the differentiation and function of these cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cell-specific microarray profiling experiments reveal a comprehensive picture of gene expression in the C. elegans nervous system

TL;DR: Microarray-based strategies for generating expression profiles of embryonic and larval C. elegans neurons can be applied to particular neurons at specific developmental stages and, therefore, provide an unprecedented opportunity to obtain spatially and temporally defined snapshots of gene expression in a simple model nervous system.
