He tested his idea in a tiny nematode worm called Caenorhabditis elegans and, in 1994, published a paper showing how touch-receptor proteins are distributed around this worm.

他于1994年在一种称为秀丽隠杆线虫的小型线虫中试验了这一想法，标示出接触受体是如何在整个虫体中分布的，并据此发表了一篇文章。

Such genes have been found in abundance in other organisms - including over 70 in the worm Caenorhabditis elegans.

这类基因在其他的生命组织中已被大量发现——包括超过70种的蠕虫线虫。

In a small worm, say the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, there are 959 cells, making it the ideal model to solve this problem.

以某种小型土壤线虫为例，它有959个细胞，是解决这一问题的理想模型。

The researchers also are developing protein-network maps for other organisms, including a yeast cell and Caenorhabditis elegans, a tiny worm with some 19, 000 genes, about the same number as humans.
