Check out this review in #GENETICS from @gotworms.bsky.social, @cgc-worms.bsky.social, and others describing the first release in the Curated Special Collections for #Celegans, highlighting protein degradation systems and how to achieve targeted protein deletion in #nematode #worms. buff.ly/lEaf2T2
⚒️ NEW TOOLBOX for #Celegans researchers 🪱
Theresa Gibney and Ariel Pani developed a method that allows for a standardized workflow to generate N-terminal and internal tags in any background and without the need for genetic balancers.

How I imagine it must be like to work in a small university town
microcentrifuge tube racks with Rack names
I was lucky enough to inherit a bunch of racks where a graduate student had labelled all of them with Rack jokes 😂, perfect. I am dead at Racksputin.
So excited to finally have this work out!
Hello Bluesky, as my first post ever I’d like to show off my Halloween costume this year (I was a degraded RNA bleach gel) 🎃🎃🎃
