Check out the latest release (5.1.0) of the Alliance of Genome Resources for your favorite worm gene and get great comparative data across the major model organisms. A notable addition to this Alliance release are the member pages which link to organism or GO related data within the Alliance and to the model organism database or the GO Consortium. These pages can be accessed from the “Members” menu at the top of Alliance web pages. See the complete release notes for the 5.1.0 release.
FEBS Junior Sections initiative
Students and young researchers from some of the national Societies have created the ‘FEBS Junior Sections‘, an initiative to connect young scientists in the molecular life sciences across Europe. They organise online events and the next one is a talk on C. elegans.
FEBS Junior Sections/Young NVBMB invite you to an online talk on “Elucidating the molecular mechanisms of protein aggregation in C. elegans as a living model system”.
Time: 10 March 2022, 19:00 (CET)
Registration: https://network.febs.org/posts/young-nvbmb-febs-junior-sections-present-tessa-sinnige
The recorded webinar for the above event is now available for viewing.
Two new chapters in WormBook, GENETICS
Check out these new chapters in WormBook, GENETICS: “Mechanisms of sex determination and X-chromosome dosage compensation” by Barbara Meyer and “Germ granules and gene regulation in the Caenorhabditis elegans germline” by Carolyn Phillips and Dustin Updike.
