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.
Just $106 short of our goal! 🤯 Shoutouts to @cgc_worms@RocheleauLab @ctmurphy1 @DengkeMa @Steeltown_Worms @cmloer Pamela Padilla and Dave Reiner for their donations! Also really enjoyed @GhoseLab invited seminar today and giving her a Glow Worms tour!
Just 1 day left to donate to "Glow Worms to Glasgow"! We're getting SO close to our $15K goal! Hopefully we haven't saturated this screen yet! Thank you SO much to ALL who have supported us! We promise to stop sending messages after this. :) https://t.co/QNKhxzwSae
83 institutions, 28 states, 13 countries, 2 Nobel Prize winners, and countless amazing and generous scientists supporting collaborative STEM. This has just been so cool and satisfying! TYSM everyone! #Glasglow23#Worm23#STEM
More shoutouts to @wormdoc1 @TroemelEmily @SunyBiotech@AardvarkMarc Zhao Du and all of you that anonymously made $100 donations! Yesterday I got to notify 4 excited students that they would for sure be going to Glasgow! Hoping to send at least one more🥺. JUST 5 DAYS LEFT!
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 https://t.co/BDSyROIC9U
We've crossed the $8,000 mark! Shoutout to @sacsegam, @DrWorms, and the PIs/labs that anonymously made $100 donations. And TYSM again to ALL who have donated! Just over a week left to donate. #GlasGlow23#celegans#Worm23
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: https://t.co/3KkO14OtSV
If we were able to develop and offer a workshop in Glasgow on the Glow Worms educational model and workflow, would there be any interest in that? Or is it too niche? #celegans#CRISPR
@ShahLabUCLA @csybio @wormbase We have! Our split mScarlet vector for SEC-based CRISPR is already at Addgene and we also made an SEC-based vector for cloning any promoter upstream of wrmScarlet(1-10) for insertion on LGII. We've been trying to find time to get that microPub submitted! https://t.co/8cpnhlHXFE
We want to add some rab proteins and kinases to our target list for this year. If we can get some consensus targets (on wantlist of maybe 5+ research groups) that would be great. Feel free to post them here. #crispr#celegans
@ShahLabUCLA @csybio Very true. We’re an educational paradigm first and a research paradigm second. We can’t keep up with the pace of research or easily adapt to shifts in research trends. We have a hard enough time just adjusting to @wormbase genome browser updates. 😂
