Mutations in Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase gene are associated with familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
- D. R. Rosen, T. Siddique, +30 authors R. Brown
- Biology, Medicine
- Nature
- 1 March 1993
AMYOTROPHIC lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a degenerative disorder of motor neurons in the cortex, brainstem and spinal cord1,2. Its cause is unknown and it is uniformly fatal, typically within five… Expand
MicroRNA expression profiles classify human cancers
Recent work has revealed the existence of a class of small non-coding RNA species, known as microRNAs (miRNAs), which have critical functions across various biological processes. Here we use a new,… Expand
Mutations in the FUS/TLS Gene on Chromosome 16 Cause Familial Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal degenerative motor neuron disorder. Ten percent of cases are inherited; most involve unidentified genes. We report here 13 mutations in the fused in… Expand
Post-embryonic cell lineages of the nematode, Caenorhabditis elegans.

- 1 March 1977
The number of nongonadal nuclei in the free-living soil nematode Caenorhabditis elegans increases from about 550 in the newly hatched larva to about 810 in the mature hermaphrodite and to about 970… Expand
The 21-nucleotide let-7 RNA regulates developmental timing in Caenorhabditis elegans
- B. J. Reinhart, F. Slack, +5 authors G. Ruvkun
- Biology, Medicine
- Nature
- 24 February 2000
The C. elegans heterochronic gene pathway consists of a cascade of regulatory genes that are temporally controlled to specify the timing of developmental events. Mutations in heterochronic genes… Expand
C. elegans Locomotory Rate Is Modulated by the Environment through a Dopaminergic Pathway and by Experience through a Serotonergic Pathway
- E. R. Sawin, R. Ranganathan, H. Horvitz
- Biology, Medicine
- Neuron
- 1 June 2000
Caenorhabditis elegans modulates its locomotory rate in response to its food, bacteria, in two ways. First, well-fed wild-type animals move more slowly in the presence of bacteria than in the absence… Expand
Genetic control of programmed cell death in the Caenorhabditis elegans hermaphrodite germline.
- T. L. Gumienny, E. Lambie, E. Hartwieg, H. Horvitz, M. Hengartner
- Biology, Medicine
- Development
- 1 March 1999
Development of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans is highly reproducible and the fate of every somatic cell has been reported. We describe here a previously uncharacterized cell fate in C. elegans:… Expand
Odorant-selective genes and neurons mediate olfaction in C. elegans
- C. Bargmann, E. Hartwieg, H. Horvitz
- Biology, Medicine
- Cell
- 13 August 1993
Olfaction is a versatile and sensitive mechanism for detecting volatile odorants. We show that the nematode C. elegans detects many volatile chemicals, which can be attractants, repellents, or… Expand
MicroRNA Expression in Zebrafish Embryonic Development
- E. Wienholds, W. Kloosterman, +6 authors R. H. Plasterk
- Biology, Medicine
- Science
- 8 July 2005
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small noncoding RNAs, about 21 nucleotides in length, that can regulate gene expression by base-pairing to partially complementary mRNAs. Regulation by miRNAs can play… Expand
Nondisjunction Mutants of the Nematode CAENORHABDITIS ELEGANS.

- Genetics
- 10 January 1979
The frequency of males (5AA; XO) among the self progeny of wild-type Caenorhabditis elegans hermaphrodites (5AA; XX) is about one in 500. Fifteen him (for "high incidence of males") mutations have… Expand
