RNAi
The nematode C. elegans is able to ingest dsRNAs from the environment and use them to initiate gene-specific silencing that spreads from cell to cell. I am characterizing the pathway required to transport environmental dsRNA across the intestinal lumen as well as screening for new regulatory proteins.
