Happy to hear your thoughts on our findings!
I want to thank @juliarraiza for the help with experiments and my supervisors @odclerck (@PhycologyUgent) and Thomas Jacobs (@PSB_VIB).

[Jonas Blomme @JambenSloom]

Happy to share our new preprint
"Consolidating Ulva functional genomics: Gene editing and new selection systems"
https://t.co/GL7KBeqxSZ
I highlight the main findings below.

[Jonas Blomme @JambenSloom]

The efficiency of vector-based CRISPR is low compared to RNPs in Ulva, but we show that co-editing of APT with a non-marker gene is feasible. We managed to install targeted mutations in three additional genes
Additional optimisations will be necessary for multiplex CRISPR.

[Sjon Hartman @SjonHartman]

Thanks to the organizers for this wonderful #EPSR2024 in Paris! They're still looking for volunteers to organize the next one 😉

[Jonas Blomme @JambenSloom]

Happy to have kicked off #EPSR2024 with an overview of our tools and efforts to study Ulva biology! Excited to hear all the (PhD) talks today and tomorrow!
