Abstract
Caenorhabditis elegans is a powerful model organism for fluorescence imaging to study gene regulation and cellular biomarkers. This concise MiniResource introduces essential imaging techniques for live and fixed C. elegans, sample preparations, microscopy, and common applications. We also outline basic image analysis workflows using open-source software. This guideline serves as a practical resource for researchers who seek implementing fluorescence imaging with C. elegans.
期刊介绍:
Molecules and Cells is an international on-line open-access journal devoted to the advancement and dissemination of fundamental knowledge in molecular and cellular biology. It was launched in 1990 and ISO abbreviation is "Mol. Cells". Reports on a broad range of topics of general interest to molecular and cell biologists are published. It is published on the last day of each month by the Korean Society for Molecular and Cellular Biology.
