We need some pre-floxed CRISPR strains (i.e. with SEC) for a high school lab project. Does anyone have any they would share? The gene is irrelevant. Any will do! Please DM. Thank you!

We are now CRISPR Academy, an authentic research experience for HS students. Our 1st research paper is now out at microPublication Biology. Check it out if you're ever had problems targeting the X chromosome with CRISPR.

If you're curious, we finalized our list of gene targets for 2023. At 36 loci per year we'll have all the human orthologs ready for you in just 250 years! #celegans #CRISPR tinyurl.com/2p8me9h9

Shoutout to two more PI/lab $100 donors @astrab and @ShahLabUCLA! TYSM! We may not make it to $15K but we think $10K is doable! #GlasGlow23 #Worm23

Every year our House team names get less and less about science and more and more about memes and social media trends. Kidz, amirite?😒🙄

Great! But what would you want to learn? How we break down CRISPR design strategy? How we integrate education, research, awareness, and development? As an example, here is our Spring semester course plan: tinyurl.com/5r8sp7c6

And of course HUGE thank you to this legend - known in Glow Worms circles as 'Chalfie the Glowman' - for his continued support and his above and beyond donation. Just can't believe how generous the worm community is...TYSM. #celegans

Just saw that one of our strains was recently published in this paper from the @Seydouxlab. So cool! Shoutout to alum Diya Sharma (Glow Worms ’21) for making this strain! mNG::EDC-3 can be used as a P-body marker. #celegans #CRISPR doi.org/10.1242/dev.200920
