Protocol describes an easily scalable way of introducing double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) in Caenorhabditis elegans: feeding the nematode with bacteria that express dsRNA. When using an RNase-III-negative Escherichia coli strain (HT115), the efficiency of this method is comparable to the alternative. - [Read Introduction of Double-Stranded RNA in C. elegans by Feeding Protocol]

Double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) can be efficiently introduced into Caenorhabditis elegans by microinjection into the gonad, the gut, or the body fluid. The RNAi effect will spread within the nematode, exerting an effect beyond the site of injection. - [Read Introduction of Double-Stranded RNA in C. elegans by Injection Protocol]

Caenorhabditis elegans, a small (adults are ~1 mm long), free-living soil nematode that feeds on bacteria, is an ideal organism for applying various live microscopy techniques. This protocol describes useful techniques for preparing C. elegans for live microscopic analysis. Details of sample preparation depend on the developmental stage of the worm to be studied. - [Read Live Imaging of Caenorhabditis elegans: Preparation of Samples]
