The 2023 International C. elegans conference is happening! Important dates to note are here. WormBase looks forward to interacting with its users and participating in many events. Watch this space for more information.
The clones are back
Good news for those of you using the C. elegans libraries held at Wellcome Sanger Institute – they have just restarted distribution of the C. elegans clone libraries they hold. The webpage is currently under development, so please email [email protected] directly with your requests.
New chapter in WormBook, GENETICS: Nematode Chromosomes
Check out the new chapter “Nematode Chromosomes” in WormBook, GENETICS, by Peter Carlton, Richard Davis and Shawn Ahmed.
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.
