摘要:
Provided are transgenic Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans) overexpressing DNA methyltransferase 3a (Dnmt3a) and a method of producing the same. According to the method, a specific mechanism and related factors for DNA methylation mediated by Dnmt3a may be found, and a critical gene for regulating the life span of C. elegans may be identified, and therefore C. elegans may be used as an animal model for screening a drug for a DNA methylation-related disease.
