The “essentially complete” sequence was published in 1998 1, and it has been iteratively improved and refined in the twenty. The ability to grow hundreds of animals on a single Petri dish feeding on bacteria, their transparency, a rapid-life cycle (3 days), a short lifespan (2–3 weeks), and facile and inexpensive growth in the laboratory make this worm an ideal model [7]. In addition to housekeeping genes, a differentiated neuron is thought to express many hundreds if not thousands of.
