Transcriptional profiling of germline-ablated P. pacificus worms versus un-ablated wild-type controls. Food source E. coli OP50 for both conditions. The goal was to identify genes that regulate the enhanced longevity observed in germline-deficient animals.
Analysis of differential gene expression in C. elegans adults exposed to three different bacteria: E. coli strain OP50, wild-type P. aeruginosa PA14 and gacA mutant PA14. Samples were analyzed at 4 hours and 8 hours after exposure to the different bacteria. These studies identified C. elegans genes induced by pathogen infection. Keywords: Time course, response to pathogen infection
