Ribosomal protein mutation suppresses gonadal leader cell migration defects in mig-17/ADAMTS mutants in Caenorhabditis elegans

This study shows that an RPL-20 mutation suppresses mig-17 gonadal defects in C. elegans by slowing growth and enhancing FBL-1C recruitment to the basement membrane.

The PAF1 complex cell-autonomously promotes oogenesis in Caenorhabditis elegans

This study shows that the PAF1 complex is required for oogenesis in C. elegans by promoting oocyte maturation gene expression.

Repulsive Guidance Molecule Acts in Axon Branching in Caenorhabditis elegans

This study identifies DRAG-1 as a repulsive guidance molecule involved in axon branching of HSNs in C. elegans, showing its requirement in hypodermal cells and interaction with UNC-40 receptor.

Overlapping and non-overlapping roles of the class-I histone deacetylase-1 corepressors, LET-418, SIN-3, and SPR-1 in Caenorhabditis elegans embryonic development

The paper investigates the roles of three corepressors in C. elegans embryonic development, finding overlapping and distinct functions in gene regulation and developmental progression.

Genetic interactions among ADAMTS metalloproteases and basement membrane molecules in cell migration in Caenorhabditis elegans

The paper investigates genetic interactions between ADAMTS proteases and basement membrane proteins in C. elegans gonad development, identifying suppressor mutations that affect both mig-17 and gon-1 mutants.

Gene Cascade Finder: A tool for identification of gene cascades and its application in Caenorhabditis elegans

The paper introduces Gene Cascade Finder (GCF), a tool to identify gene cascades from RNA-Seq data, and applies it to Caenorhabditis elegans to uncover regulatory relationships in development.
