Molecular analysis of the cold tolerant Antarctic nematode, Panagrolaimus davidi.

Isolated and established in culture from the Antarctic in 1988, the nematode Panagrolaimus davidi has proven to be an ideal model for the study of adaptation to the cold. Not only is it the best-documented example of an organism surviving intracellular freezing but it is also able to undergo cryopro...
