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! tinyurl.com/2p8me9h9

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

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.

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.

Just saw that one of our strains was recently published in this paper from the Seydoux Lab. 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. doi.org/10.1242/dev.20…

Hey neurodegeneration folks, just now realizing our list of gene targets probably needs revisiting. We’re open to adding to and/or reprioritizing this list this year. Some sort of collaborative rank system would be great. tinyurl.com/yvfvmy4z
