Show abstract
Stentor coeruleus is an emerging model system for the study of morphogenesis and regeneration as well as behaviors like habituation and photosensation. While Stentors genome has been sequenced, genetic tools are currently limited to RNA interference by feeding. Here we show that microinjection of long double-stranded RNA is an effective method for triggering a robust RNAi response. Additionally, microinjection of mob1 dsRNA resulted in cell phenotypes appearing 24 hours earlier than by feeding bacterially expressed dsRNA. This work expands the genetic toolkit in Stentor when RNAi by feeding is not ideal for an experiment.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
