    Abstract On the 15th Anniversary of Disease Models & Mechanisms as a trailblazing venue for the dissemination of discoveries pertaining to human health involving model systems, we celebrate the journey of this journal, as mirrored through the evolution of research using the nematode roundworm, Caenorhabditis elegans. Driven by the exponential growth of genomic data, worms have advanced from a basic research tool to precise and elegant models for disease and have yielded substantive insights into numerous human disorders. A harbinger of functional genomic analysis since the inception of RNA interference screening, the directed application of C. elegans for identification of disease-modifying factors has revealed new pathways and therapeutic targets to accelerate translational outcomes. Together with advances in gene editing, worm models are now ushering in the era of precision medicine with characteristic expedience.

    Abstract The exponential accumulation of DNA sequencing data has opened new avenues for discovering the causative roles of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in neurological diseases. The opportunities emerging from this are staggering, yet only as good as our abilities to glean insights from this surplus of information. Whereas computational biology continues to improve with respect to predictions and molecular modeling, the differences between in silico and in vivo analysis remain substantial. Invertebrate in vivo model systems represent technically advanced, experimentally mature, high-throughput, efficient and cost-effective resources for investigating a disease. With a decades-long track record of enabling investigators to discern function from DNA, fly (Drosophila) and worm (Caenorhabditis elegans) models have never been better poised to serve as living engines of discovery. Both of these animals have already proven useful in the classification of genetic variants as either pathogenic or benign across a range of neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative disorders-including autism spectrum disorders, ciliopathies, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease. Pathogenic SNPs typically display distinctive phenotypes in functional assays when compared with null alleles and frequently lead to protein products with gain-of-function or partial loss-of-function properties that contribute to neurological disease pathogenesis. The utility of invertebrates is logically limited by overt differences in anatomical and physiological characteristics, and also the evolutionary distance in genome structure. Nevertheless, functional annotation of disease-SNPs using invertebrate models can expedite the process of assigning cellular and organismal consequences to mutations, ascertain insights into mechanisms of action, and accelerate therapeutic target discovery and drug development for neurological conditions.
