Brief description:  A mutation in the S0D-1 in humans is associated with ALS. The mutation in the gene in the C. elegans worm is associated with a phenotypic expression demonstrating slow-growth. Using RNAi I would like to demonstrate the phenotypic changes using the primer from the eRNAi website.
Report any problems that might have appeared and any solutions:  In WormBase a similar experiment has been done with different primers.
