Caenorhabditis elegans (/ ˌ s iː n oʊ r æ b ˈ d aɪ t ə s ˈ ɛ l ə ɡ æ n s / [6]) is a free-living transparent nematode about 1 mm in length that lives in temperate soil environments. [7] It is the type species of its genus. [8] The name is a blend of the Greek caeno-(recent), rhabditis (rod-like) [9] and Latin elegans (elegant).
The genus Caenorhabditis contains the noted model organism Caenorhabditis elegans and several other species for which a genome sequence is either available or currently being determined. The two most-studied species in this genus ( C. elegans and C. briggsae ) are both androdioecious (they have male and hermaphrodite sexes) whereas most other ...
The word apoptosis is a combination of the prefix 'apo' and the root 'ptosis': 'apo' means 'away', 'off' or 'apart', and 'ptosis' means 'falling'. Based on the origin of the word it makes sense that it should be pronounced "APE oh TOE sis". The pronunciation "a POP tuh sis", although commonly used, ignores the origin of the word.

A lateral (left side) anatomical diagram of an adult-stage nematode hermaphrodite Caenorhabditis elegans with emphasis on the digestive and reproductive systems. C. elegans is a free-living, transparent nematode (roundworm) which measures about 1 millimetre (0.039 in) in length. The hermaphrodite form, as seen here, is the most common, although ...
The analysis of sequences of three nuclear genes shows that the Diploscapter, Protorhabditis and Prodontorhabditis genera group together to form the 'Protorhabditis' group, the sister group of the Caenorhabditis species, all included in the 'Eurhabditis' group of Rhabditidae genera.

Caenorhabditis nigoni is a male-female species in the Elegans group of the genus Caenorhabditis, first identified and described as "Caenorhabditis species 9" or "C. sp. 9" [1] before being renamed as "C. nigoni". [2]
Caenorhabditis sinica, is a species of Caenorhabditis nematodes, belonging to the Elegans super-group and Elegans group within the genus. [2] It is closely related to several species isolated from the lands adjacent to the Indian and Pacific Oceans, as well as to C. briggsae and C. nigoni. The species was known as “C. sp. 5” prior to 2014. [1]
