Trends, stasis, and drift in the evolution of nematode vulva developmentKarin Kiontke
Department of Biology, New York University, Main Building, Room 1009, 100 Washington Square East, New York, New York 10003, USA
Curr Biol 17:1925-37. 2007..As a model, we used the nematode vulva, a highly conserved, essential organ, the development of which has been intensively studied in the model systems Caenorhabditis elegans and Pristionchus pacificus...
Novel gain-of-function alleles demonstrate a role for the heterochronic gene lin-41 in C. elegans male tail tip morphogenesisTania Del Rio-Albrechtsen
Department of Biology, New York University, 100 Washington Square East, New York, NY 10003, USA
Dev Biol 297:74-86. 2006..We speculate that small changes affecting LIN-41 could have been significant for male tail evolution...
Evolutionary biology: patchy food may maintain a foraging polymorphismKarin Kiontke
Department of Biology, New York University, New York, NY 10003, USA
Curr Biol 18:R1017-9. 2008..Two naturally-occurring alleles in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans that differ by a single amino acid and cause striking differences in foraging behavior are probably maintained by selection in patchy environments...
Phenotypic plasticity: different teeth for different feastsKarin Kiontke
Department of Biology, New York University, New York, NY 10003, USA
Curr Biol 20:R710-2. 2010....
A phylogeny and molecular barcodes for Caenorhabditis, with numerous new species from rotting fruitsKarin C Kiontke
Department of Biology, New York University, 100 Washington Square East New York, New York 10003, USA
BMC Evol Biol 11:339. 2011..Only ten Caenorhabditis species were available in culture at the onset of this study. Many of them, like C. elegans, were mostly isolated from artificial compost heaps, and their more natural habitat was unknown...
A bow-tie genetic architecture for morphogenesis suggested by a genome-wide RNAi screen in Caenorhabditis elegansMatthew D Nelson
Department of Biology, New York University, New York, United States of America
PLoS Genet 7:e1002010. 2011..g. arl-1, rme-8) and rearrangement of the cytoskeleton (e.g. cdc-42, nmy-1, and nmy-2). Based on these data, we suggest that male tail tip morphogenesis is governed by a gene regulatory network with a bow-tie architecture...
Evolution of early embryogenesis in rhabditid nematodesMichael Brauchle
Department of Biology, New York University, New York, NY 10003, USA
Dev Biol 335:253-62. 2009..Our genome-wide approach identifies candidate molecules-and thereby modules-associated with evolutionary changes in cell-biological phenotypes...
Caenorhabditis phylogeny predicts convergence of hermaphroditism and extensive intron lossKarin Kiontke
Department of Biology, New York University, 100 Washington Square East, New York, NY 10003, USA
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 101:9003-8. 2004....
