C. elegans Genetic Services

The invertebrate Caenorhabditis elegans is a small, free-living nematode that has nerves, muscles, guts and reproductive system. The worm has served as a formidable model system that facilitates genetic and genomic analysis, due to the unique characteristics and numerous experimental advantages. The key features of C. elegans include a short life cycle, the transparency of the body, a completely defined developmental cell lineage, ease of cultivation, and availability of large sets of mutants. There are no ethical issues involved in using the worm as is the case for other animal models. Despite the nematode being considered a simple organism, many of the genes and pathways are observed with more complex organisms, including humans. Here, CD BioSciences provides C. elegans genetic services, including genetic engineering service and DNA methylation analysis service. With the help of CD BioSciences, our clients can obtain genetically engineered C. elegans through our platform. In addition, we also offer customized services to suit the particular needs of customers' research. It is always our aim to bring customers great convenience with high-quality data delivery, in-depth scientific and technical support.

Service offerings

Genetic engineering service

To accelerate the creation of animal models, and greatly contribute to the research that utilized C. elegans, we design, build and deliver genetically engineered C. elegans using the latest technologies, including CRISPRCas9, RNAi, and MosDel and MosSCI. Each of the methods has its own advantages. Customers can request specific solutions during project consultation with our experts.

Genetic screens - chemical mutagenesis service

Chemical mutagenesis is whole-genome profiling of mutagenesis for forward genetic screens and target-selected mutagenesis. As the easiest and most straightforward way, the approach is suitable to be scaled up for systematically inducing germline mutations at high frequency, providing a new strategy for the breeding of new varieties and the establishment of animal models of diseases. We provide a high-throughput mutagenic platform based on the chemical agents, EMS and ENU. We promise the quality and speed of our services, and guarantee the satisfaction of our customers.
