We in the C. elegans community are lucky to have the #wormfeed. Big shout out to @microbeminded.bsky.social for creating such a wonderful gathering place.

And you can pin the wormfeed to your homescreen: bsky.app/profile/did:...

WormSNAP: A software for fast, accurate, and unbiased detection of fluorescent puncta in C. elegans The detection and characterization of fluorescent puncta are critical tasks in image analysis pipelines for fluorescence imaging. Existing methods for quantitative characterization of such puncta ofte...

Our newest preprint is out: an automated code-free method developed for quantifying synapses in C. elegans (but also useful for other fluorescent puncta/organisms!) that we're calling "WormSNAP" www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... #wormfeed #neuropapers

Intracellular protein-lipid interactions drive presynaptic assembly prior to neurexin recruitment Neurexin cell-adhesion molecules regulate synapse development and function by recruiting synaptic components. Here, we uncover a mechanism for presyna…

European Shipping Hub We are glad to announce the launch of the European Hub for CGC strain distribution. Since the pandemic, CGC shipments have become increasingly difficult to manage with higher costs, longer transit ti...

Porting this here from the other place: There is now a European hub for worm shipping! community.alliancegenome.org/t/european-s...

Thanks to 🇪🇸 labs, hopefully soon getting strains into the EU shipped will be much smoother!
