Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun have been named the 2024 recipients of the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for their pioneering work on microRNAs.
We extend our hearty congratulations to Victor and Gary for this outstanding achievement and their years of service to the C. elegans community and beyond!
Check out the two new chapters in WormBook, GENETICS: Extracellular vesicles by Juan Wang, Maureen Barr, and Ann Wehman and The Caenorhabditis elegans cuticle and precuticle: a model for studying dynamic apical extracellular matrices in vivo by Meera Sundaram and Nathalie Pujol.
The WormBase website has been updated to the WS293 release (check out the release notes for details). This release features the addition of balancers to SimpleMine! Now you can find balancers and their reference strains for a list of C. elegans genes under the “Genetics, Interactions and Phenotypes” menu.
