Forward genetics in C. elegans reveals genetic adaptations to polyunsaturated fatty acid deficiency
Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) are essential for mammalian health and function as membrane fluidizers and precursors for signaling lipids, though the primary essential function of PUFAs within organisms has not been established. Unlike mammals who cannot endogenously synthesize PUFAs, C. elegan...
