tions or comparative
experiments more meaningful. In applying this technique to various nematodes,
it is conveniently possible to use a couple of hundred target worms of
C. elegans and proceed in comparatively low precision, while DNA injections
have to be done individually and precisely into the gonads. Parasitic
worms, however, can only be transfected on an individual basis or in small
groups by Biolistic gene transfer. In all experiments designed, reporter
gene expression is observed independent from distance of initial gold
particle target sites, clearly indicating an DNA drift within the entire
bodies. Altogether, this technique is a reproducible and efficient method
of producing fertile transgenic nematodes.
