Construction of a bicistronic vector for the co-expression of two genes in Caenorhabditis elegans using a newly identified IRES
The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans is an important model animal for biological research. Currently, transgenic C. elegans strains are mainly generated by injecting DNA encoding a gene of interest, in combination with a reporter gene, into the gonad. With this approach, the interpretation of negativ...
