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. |
