Binomial name Caenorhabditis elegans Maupas, 1900 Caenorhabditis elegans (pronounced see-no-rab-DYE-tis) is a free-living nematode (one of the roundworms), about 1 mm in length, which lives in a temperate soil environment. ... Kingdoms Animalia - Animals Fungi Plantae - Plants Protista A eukaryote is an organism with a complex cell or cells, in which the genetic material is organized into a membrane-bound nucleus or nuclei. ...


DNA was first sequenced in 1977, the genome of Haemophilus influenzae was the first genome of a free-living organism to be sequenced. In 1996 Saccharomyces cerevisiae was the first eukaryote genome sequence to be released and in 1998 the first genome sequnce for a multicellular eukaryote, Caenorhabditis elegans, was released.
