| Description | References............................................................................................................. 180Nonmammalian model organisms such as Escherichia coli, Saccharomyces, Caenorhabditis elegans, Drosophila, zebrafish, and the plant Arabidopsis provide numerous experimental advantages for defining the molecular bases of complexphysiological processes. C. elegans provides a particularly striking example of the experimental utility of nonmammalian model organisms (reviewed in Ref. [1]).Worms have a short life cycle, produce large numbers of offspring by sexualreproduction, and can be cultured easily and inexpensively in the laboratory. Sexualreproduction occurs by self-fertilization in hermaphrodites or by mating with males.The reproductive and laboratory culture characteristics of C. elegans make it an exceptionally powerful model system for forward genetic analysis.
