Overview
Among the many experimental models, C. elegans is particularly effective because of its morphological, behavioral, and genetic advantages. The C. elegans model is suitable for the research of bioactive compounds in various fields, such as anti-aging research, anti-neurodegeneration, anti-obesity, anti-infection and intestinal health. Besides those, the technological development of C. elegans in other fields is also extensive, such as instrumental analysis and emerging methods. Creative Biolabs can provide customized C. elegans gene editing services including vector construction, microinjection, mutant C. elegans identification, overexpression C. elegans screening, RNAi silencing effect evaluation, mRNA expression level detection, etc.
