Polycystic Kidney Disease and Protein Localization : Analysis of the Role of gar-3 in Protein Localization to Cilia in Caenorhabditis Elegans
(2021-04)Gar-3, a gene that encodes a G protein-coupled acetylcholine receptor, has been shown to play roles in both neurotransmission and protein localization to synapses. We asked whether gar-3 also affects the localization of ... -
Studying the Effects of Extra Sets of Chromosomes on C. elegans Neurons : Using Tetraploid C. Elegans to Investigate Genetic Abnormalities
(2021-04)Polyploidy is a condition in which organisms possess multiple sets of chromosomes as a result of nondisjunction events during meiosis. In most organisms, polyploidy results in sterility or lethality, making it difficult ...
