Show abstract
Temperature can impose strong selection causing thermal tolerance variation between individuals, populations, and species. We developed a high-throughput larval development assay for cold tolerance in the model organism Caenorhabditis elegans. We exposed animals to 4{degrees}C cold treatments for either 12 or 24 hours. Animals exposed to the 24-hour cold treatment exhibited greater variation and heritability in cold tolerance during the L1 larval stage. The high-throughput approach that we developed is easily scalable to simultaneously measure a large number of strains, which makes it ideal for studying the genetics and evolution of cold tolerance in Caenorhabditis nematodes.

"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.
