Excited that a talented Ph.D. student Mohammed Aljohani @MDJEditing from my lab is presenting his work on a genome-wide C. elegans CRISPR library for DNA and RNP-based CRISPR editing for the first time today at the CSHL CRISPR meeting.

@ShahLabUCLA Thanks Pavak! Glad you got MosTI working quickly. We're scaling up the library integration approaches with the aim to find single-neuron promoters from oligo pools. Let me know if you have other applications you want to chat about.

@wormbuilder, your new MosTI reagents are amazing! New plasmid to integrated lines in ~1 week after just one round of injections!

Interested in chromatin folding/SMC complexes/nuclear organization and want to move the Switzerland for a post-doc? Switzerland has its own Marie-Curie postdoc program (deadline 01.12). Reach out by email if you look for a host lab! @snf_ch

1/7 Try our new app for optimizing transgenes for C. elegans expression (wormbuilder.org/transgenebuild…). The app uses algorithms from collaborators Henrik Bringmann (TU Dresden) and Dan Dickinson (UT Austin) - or codons from highly expressed ubiquitous genes.

@wormbuilder Good to know! We don't have to make germ line expression constructs that often, but when we do I'm always trying to wrack my brain to remember all of the optimizations worth doing and was hoping this could be a one stop shop for that :-)

@Jordan_D_Ward Yes, the idea was to combine all the different steps we'd usually do sequentially - and a few things that I found myself doing "manually".

@wormbuilder Will definitely give it a try! It looks like it combines the functionality of several sites I use routinely (MPI codon adapter, pirScan, etc.). Nice work, as always!

@ShahLabUCLA Thanks Shah! We find that Dan's algorithm does really well if we combine with removing piRNAs. We didn't specifically add PATC introns (because they don't synthesize well) but we can add short introns with Golden-gate acceptor sites, if it's useful?

@wormbuilder Super cool! Can it make your optimizations for germ line expression?

6/7 The optimized sequence is annotated in the app or in a GenBank file that can be opened in gene editors (for example @ApEplasmid)
