Project description:To explore the roles of piRNAs and WAGO-class 22G-RNAs in regulating gene expression and transposon silencing in Caenorhabditis elegans, we used RNA-seq to assess changes in small RNA and mRNA levels in prg-1 and mut-16 mutants, which disable the piRNA and WAGO-class 22G-RNA pathways respectively. We identified numerous roles for piRNAs and WAGO-class 22G-RNAs in regulating germline genes, including transposons, histones, and spermatogenic and oogenic transcripts.

Highly soluble amide-modified SWCNTs (a-SWCNTs) are used in the present study so that the dose-response impact of SWCNTs could be studied. mechanisms. a-SWCNTs are efficiently taken up by worms during feeding and cause significant toxicity in worms, including retarded growth, shortened lifespan and defective embryogenesis. Genome-wide gene expression analysis is performed to investigate the toxic molecular

Project description:Oviparous animals support reproduction via the incorporation of yolk as a nutrient source into the eggs. In Caenorhabditis elegans, however, yolk proteins seem dispensable for fecundity, despite constituting the vast majority of the embryonic protein pool and acting as carriers for nutrient-rich lipids. Here, we used yolk protein-deprived C. elegans mutants to gain insight into the traits that may yet be influenced by yolk rationing. We show that massive yolk provisioning confers a temporal advantage during embryogenesis, while also increasing early juvenile body size and promoting competitive fitness. Opposite to species that reduce egg production under yolk deprivation, our results indicate that C. elegans relies on yolk as a fail-safe to secure offspring survival, rather than to maintain offspring numbers.

A Caenorhabditis elegans
Genome-Scale Metabolic Network Model.

Abstract:
Caenorhabditis elegans is a powerful model to study
metabolism and how it relates to nutrition, gene expression,
and life history traits. However, while numerous experimental
techniques that enable perturbation of its diet and gene
function are available, a high-quality metabolic network model
has been lacking. Here, we reconstruct an initial version of
the C. elegans metabolic network. This network model
contains 1,273 genes, 623 enzymes, and 1,985 metabolic
reactions and is referred to as iCEL1273. Using flux balance
analysis, we show that iCEL1273 is capable of representing the
conversion of bacterial biomass into C. elegans biomass
during growth and enables the predictions of gene essentiality
and other phenotypes. In addition, we demonstrate that gene
expression data can be integrated with the model by comparing
metabolic rewiring in dauer animals versus growing larvae.
iCEL1273 is available at a dedicated website
(wormflux.umassmed.edu) and will enable the unraveling of the
mechanisms by which different macro- and micronutrients
contribute to the animal's physiology.
