Genetic Methods for Cellular Manipulations in C. elegans

Neuron manipulation in vivo by ablation, activation, or inactivation, and regulation of gene expression, is essential for dissecting nervous system function. Here we describe genetic means for neuron manipulation in the nematode C. elegans, and provide protocols for generating transgenic animals containing these genetic tools.
