ABSTRACT

Although it’s apparent simplicity, the nematode worm C.elegans has been a priceless tool for biological
research, principally in the functional characterization of unique targets that have been identified the
using genomics technologies. C. elegans and advanced organisms, along with the simplicity and costeffectiveness
of the agriculture, make for an effective in vivo model which is amenable to whole-organism
high productivity compound screens and extensive target validation. This review shows how can be used
C. elegans models to advance understanding of the molecular mechanisms of development and nervous
system function.
Key words:C. elegans,life cycle,Genome, nervous system.
