The paper compares the nervous systems of two nematode species to identify patterns of evolutionary change in their connectomes.

The paper identifies a role for the CMG helicase in promoting transcriptional divergence during asymmetric cell division in C. elegans, independent of its DNA unwinding function.

This study investigates the role of hlh-2, the C. elegans homolog of Daughterless/E, in neurogenesis and finds that its effects are restricted rather than universal across different neuron lineages.

This study identifies 58 essential genes in C. elegans using whole genome sequencing of maternal-effect lethal and sterile mutants, revealing novel alleles and functional roles in embryonic development and fertilization.

The paper shows that bHLH transcription factors regulate lineage convergence in C. elegans neurons by controlling terminal selector gene expression.

The paper introduces MIP-MAP, a method to map temperature-sensitive mutations in C. elegans using molecular inversion probes, achieving high-resolution genetic mapping with high-throughput sequencing.

The paper identifies a neuroendocrine neuron, RID, in C. elegans that sustains forward movement through the neuropeptide FLP-14.
