Infrared laser-induced gene expression for tracking development and function of single C. elegans embryonic neurons

Tools to label single neurons and track their development inC. elegans have been lacking. Singhal et al. optimized a method, which applies infrared laser to induce heat-dependent gene expression at cellular resolution in developing C. elegansembryos, and show that it can uncover new aspects of embry...
