Many transcription factors contribute to C. elegans growth and fat storage

This study provides a blueprint for studies of other genes and phenotypes in C. elegans. The genes that contribute only subtly are often missed. Here, we address this challenge by focusing on two phenotypes in C. elegans: growth and fat storage. Our results show the distribution of relative body size versus corrected relative fat score of 854 C. elegans TF RNAi knockdowns.
