The Worm
a jlm349 pbl project
        

How has the uncovering of the C.elegans genome contributed to
the study of human development and disease?


This website's goal is to look at some facets
of worm research and how they have contributed
to research regarding human development and disease.
Here we look at...
  • aging
  • development
  • dna damage response
  • host-pathogen interactions
  • reproduction

    • cross section of C.elegans


    The diligent workers in this problem based learning (pbl) project include...
