The final version of our paper is now out in #G3Journal@GeneticsGSA! 🔬✨ Check it out to find simple DNA FISH probes for C. elegans and P. pacificus, and how to design them in other organisms: https://t.co/jsOZHiedJp
Our new preprint is out on bioRxiv! We designed and validated sets of simple oligonucleotide FISH probes for the nematodes C. elegans and P. pacificus targeting tandem repeats on at least one locus per chromosome. @adernburg https://t.co/21fkvvQAR8
The chicks were banded on this morning. This year, Annie, Grinnell, and Alden are the proud parents of one male and one female. Their official identification as written on their bands is a little unwieldly: 2206-70009, and 1807-96291, so we need your help naming them!

These cost-effective probes consist of only 1 or 2 oligos that are commercially synthesized and labeled and used for thousands of experiments. This method can be easily adapted for your favorite model or non-model organism with a sequenced genome.
Peer-reviewed version of our preprint online today 💃! Many thanks to co-authors @TheRogLab and Henry Cope!

Major points summarized in the attached thread.
Happy to share my first postdoc paper with @adernburg!! Thanks to Regina Rillo-Bohn and all the authors.
We introduce the nematode Pristionchus pacificus as a new system for molecular analysis of meiosis. 🔬
