This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. We profile the collection of C. elegans genes whose inhibition leads to sterility using high-resolution imaging of the syncytial gonad, a complex tissue whose architecture depends on a spectrum of interacting cellular processes. Analysis of 94 visible features in the gonad partitioned the 554 sterile genes into 102 phenotypic classes, predicting functions for 106 of the 116 uncharacterized genes in the collection while also revealing new functions for previously studied genes. We developed a theoretical framework to assess the significance of functional links between specific gene pairs. Using this framework, we integrated our analysis with a prior time-lapse screen in early embryos to generate a network of 819 essential C. elegans genes that can be viewed at multiple levels of functional resolution. Analysis of specific gene sets in the network indicates that multi-parametric phenotypic profiling in a complex tissue in a multi-cellular organism yields functional maps with a resolution equivalent to genetic interaction-based profiling in unicellular eukaryotes. Mass spectrometry was used to validate our prediction (based on phenotype) that an unknown gene (K10D2.4) associated with the APC/C.

这个子项目是许多研究子项目中的一个 由NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源。子项目和 研究者（PI）可能从另一个NIH来源获得了主要资金， 因此可以在其他CRISP条目中表示。所列机构为 研究中心，而研究中心不一定是研究者所在的机构。 我们分析了C.使用合胞体性腺的高分辨率成像，发现了elegans基因，其抑制导致不育，合胞体性腺是一种复杂的组织，其结构取决于一系列相互作用的细胞过程。 对性腺中94个可见特征的分析将554个不育基因划分为102个表型类，预测了集合中116个未表征基因中的106个的功能，同时也揭示了先前研究的基因的新功能。 我们开发了一个理论框架来评估特定基因对之间功能联系的重要性。 使用这个框架，我们将我们的分析与早期胚胎的延时筛选相结合，以生成819个必需C的网络。elegans的基因，可以在多个层次的功能分辨率。在网络中的特定基因集的分析表明，在一个复杂的组织中的多细胞生物体的多参数表型分析产生的功能图的分辨率相当于在单细胞真核生物的遗传相互作用为基础的分析。 质谱分析用于验证我们的预测（基于表型），即一个未知基因（K10D2.4）与APC/C相关。
