Nematodes and Fibers Linked

[sarothra]

I thought this was important enough in itself to have it's own thread.

The mutants (the genetically altered) nematodes have especially THICK FIBERS as part of their bodies.

Myosin and paramyosin of Caenorhabditis elegans embryos assemble into nascent structures distinct from thick filaments and multi-filament assemblages -- Epstein et al. 122 (4): 845 -- The Journal of Cell Biology

Sarothra, I just saw you have opened two threads on the same subject. What is the purpose?

Hi Saro!
These nematodes def play the main roll in our disease.what else will prove to be responsible will be the Bt,crystals,and beneficial nematodes they have been throwing out there since the 1940's.the Bt.crystals were killing nontargeted organisms creating a shortage of food for these nematodes leving them no choice but to search for a new food source.unfortunately us.after all we do provide the exact type of enviroment they need to live a very long life.i have figured the rest out also i am trying to put it all together correctly so everyone will understand.
