A comprehensive analysis of gene expression changes provoked by bacterial and fungal infection in C. elegans.

While Caenorhabditis elegans specifically responds to infection by the up-regulation of certain genes, distinct pathogens trigger the expression of a common set of genes. We applied new methods to conduct a comprehensive and comparative study of the transcriptional response of C. elegans to bacteria...
