NemaSize is an AI pipeline that accurately measures nematode body size across complex postures, outperforming CellProfiler in curved and overlapping animals.

The paper identifies beta-tubulin variants associated with benzimidazole resistance in three Caenorhabditis species and shows species-specific patterns of resistance.

The paper identifies 94 candidate genes in C. elegans linked to susceptibility to 23 environmental toxicants using genome-wide association analysis.

The paper analyzes over 2,000 Caenorhabditis briggsae wild strains to uncover genetic diversity, population structure, and evolutionary mechanisms shaping phenotypic variation.

This study tests fenbendazole efficacy against ascarid parasites in poultry, finding resistance in one Ascaridia galli isolate and all Heterakis gallinarum isolates.

This study quantifies the fitness effects of resistance alleles to albendazole and ivermectin in C. elegans, finding that resistance requires specific gene deletions and that multi-drug resistance is not observed.

This study identifies genetic differences among C. elegans strains that drive variation in anthelmintic responses across multiple drug classes, highlighting the importance of genetic diversity in understanding anthelmintic resistance.

The paper introduces an experimental design with anchor strains to reduce batch effects in metabolomics, enabling integration of NMR and LC-MS data across studies.
