This C. elegans gene knockout facility is a member of an international consortium C. elegans Gene Knockout Consortium whose ultimate goal is to produce null alleles of all known genes in the C. elegans genome.

Currently, after chemical mutagenesis, we use PCR with nested primers to identify animals in the mutagenized population with deletions at the targeted locus.

This gene knockout facility strives to further advance C. elegans reverse genetics by establishing efficient production methods, innovative protocols in a cooperative effort with consortium members.

This site has been created to contribute information related to the C. elegans Gene Knockout Project.
