The paper updates a toolkit for genetic studies in C. briggsae by identifying indel variants and mapping mutations to genes using high-throughput sequencing.

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

The paper presents a gap-free, telomere-to-telomere genome assembly for the C. briggsae AF16 strain, along with improved gene annotations and variant mappings.

The paper develops a high-throughput assay to measure cold tolerance in C. elegans and finds that 24-hour cold exposure increases variation and heritability of cold tolerance during the L1 larval stage.

This paper develops a mesh filter-based technique to isolate C. elegans embryos for synchronization, achieving higher yield and better downstream development than bleach methods.

This study identifies genes that suppress the effects of pry-1 mutations in C. elegans, revealing their roles in reproductive development, stress response, and aging.
