The little worm that could (escape light): a single nerve cell helps C. elegans escape harmful UV exposure
It’s hard to imagine, but the tiny, translucent roundworm called C. elegans has approximately 20,470 protein-coding genes—about the same number as humans. This is perhaps one of the many reasons why this common worm was the first multicellular organism to have its genome completely sequenced during the Human Genome Project in 1998. Studying C. elegans…
