Abstract:Among nematodes, the free-living model organismCaenorhabditis elegansboasts the most advanced portfolio of high-quality omics data. The resources available for parasitic nematodes, includingStrongyloidesspp., however, are lagging behind. WhileC. elegansremains the most tractable nematode and has significantly advanced our understanding of many facets of nematode biology,C. elegansis not suitable as a surrogate system for the study of parasitism and it is important that we improve the omics resources available … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
