The paper identifies genetic variants in gap-2 that modify daf-7 expression and influence exploratory foraging behavior in C. elegans.

This study shows that specific bacteria can significantly influence Orsay virus transmission and host susceptibility in C. elegans.

This study identifies a new intergenerational communication pathway in C. elegans linking sensory perception to maternal provisioning through FMRF-like peptides.

This study shows that RNA interference in C. elegans mediates RNA toxicity from maternal CTG repeats, causing offspring phenotypes that can be rescued by disrupting the RNAi machinery.

The paper identifies ADARs and the ERI-6/7/MOV10 RNAi pathway as factors silencing endogenous viral elements and LTR retrotransposons in C. elegans, with implications for genome integrity and stress responses.
