Complementary RNA amplification methods enhance microarray identification of transcripts expressed in the C. elegans nervous systemJOSEPH D WATSON
Department of Cell and Developmental Biology, Vanderbilt University, Nashville, TN 37232 8240, USA
BMC Genomics 9:84. 2008..Here we compare microarray results obtained with two different methods of RNA amplification to profile gene expression in the C. elegans larval nervous system...
A transcriptional program promotes remodeling of GABAergic synapses in Caenorhabditis elegansSarah C Petersen
Department of Cell and Developmental Biology, Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Nashville, Tennessee 37232, USA
J Neurosci 31:15362-75. 2011..Moreover, the well established roles of these conserved transcription factors in mammalian neural development suggest that a similar cascade may also control synaptic plasticity in more complex nervous systems...
Time-lapse imaging and cell-specific expression profiling reveal dynamic branching and molecular determinants of a multi-dendritic nociceptor in C. elegansCody J Smith
Department of Cell and Developmental Biology, Vanderbilt University, Nashville, TN 37232 8240, USA

Netrin (UNC-6) mediates dendritic self-avoidanceCody J Smith
Department of Cell and Developmental Biology, Vanderbilt University, Nashville, Tennessee, USA
Nat Neurosci 15:731-7. 2012..Our findings offer a new model for how an evolutionarily conserved morphogenic cue and its cognate receptors can pattern a fundamental feature of dendritic architecture...
Cell-specific microarray profiling experiments reveal a comprehensive picture of gene expression in the C. elegans nervous systemStephen E Von Stetina
Department of Cell and Developmental Biology, Vanderbilt University, Nashville, TN 37232 8240, USA
Genome Biol 8:R135. 2007..Here we describe microarray-based methods that monitor gene expression in C. elegans neurons and, thereby, link comprehensive profiles of neuronal transcription to key developmental and functional properties of the nervous system...
The embryonic muscle transcriptome of Caenorhabditis elegansRebecca M Fox
Department of Cell and Developmental Biology, Vanderbilt University, 465 21st Ave S, Nashville, TN 37232 8240, USA
Genome Biol 8:R188. 2007..To this end, we applied microarray profiling of Caenorhabtidis elegans cells (MAPCeL) to muscle cell populations extracted from developing C. elegans embryos...
A spatial and temporal map of C. elegans gene expressionW Clay Spencer
Department of Cell and Developmental Biology, Vanderbilt University, Nashville, Tennessee 37232, USA
Genome Res 21:325-41. 2011....
Coenzyme Q protects Caenorhabditis elegans GABA neurons from calcium-dependent degenerationLaurie R Earls
Department of Cell and Developmental Biology, Vanderbilt University, Nashville, TN 37232 8240, USA
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 107:14460-5. 2010..We conclude that the cell selectivity and developmental progression of CoQ deficiency in C. elegans indicate that this model may be useful for delineating the role of mitochondrial dysfunction in neurodegenerative disease...
