High-efficiency targeted integration of extrachromosomal arrays in C. elegans using PhiC31 integrase
Extrachromosomal arrays are unique chromosome-like structures created from DNA injected into the C. elegans germline. Arrays are easy to create and allow for high expression of multiple transgenes. Th...

New findings help to explain why it has been so challenging to predict brain signaling from the connectome alone.

Worms help untangle brain structure/function mystery
The synaptic connectome of most animals bears little resemblance to functional brain maps, but it can still predict neuronal activity, according to two preprints that tackle the puzzle in C. elegans.

I am excited (as usual) about attending #Worm25. But I am also sad that so many friends and colleagues can't be there. Because you know....insane policies and war and such. Hoping the science will provide at least a temporary distraction from the unending chaos.

One step is court orders. Today, a small piece of good news for NIH.
Another step is large-scale protest.
