The efficiency of RNA interference varies between different organisms, even among nematodes. A recent report of successful RNA interference in the nematode Panagrolaimus superbus in BMC Molecular Biology has implications for the comparative study of the functional genomics of nematode species, and prompts reflections on the choice of Caenorhabditis elegans as a model organism.
RNA干扰的效率在不同生物体之间存在差异,即使在线虫中也是如此。《BMC分子生物学》上最近一篇关于线虫华丽嗜热线虫成功进行RNA干扰的报告,对线虫物种功能基因组学的比较研究具有启示意义,并引发了对选择秀丽隐杆线虫作为模式生物的思考。
