Abstract

Searching for genes regulating fat accumulation has both fundamental and medical interests. Genetic screening for those genes in Caenorhabditis elegans, a widely-used model organism, requires in vivo quantification of lipids. We demonstrated RNA interference screening based on quantitative imaging of lipids with label-free stimulated Raman scattering microscopy, which overcomes major limitations of coherent anti-stokes Raman scattering microscopy. Our screening yielded eight novel genetic regulators of fat storage.
