Amazing collaboration with Jordi van Gestel group and EMBL colleagues, or how great work is done when the right persons meet . And congrats to the first author Mireia Garriga-Canut. Bringing straightforward genetic tools to Dictyostelids, and Cas9 RNP optimization

Huge congrats to first author Soham Basu and Ikmi lab members, and all the co-authors. Sea anemones also need to release pressure

A bit late, but plasmids for cloning-free PCR donors for endogenous gene Knock-In in fish are available on Addgene

C. Elegans had been a crucial model for my growth as a scientist. After my PhD in a limited genetically tractable model, I learnt genetics in a great worm lab. Since then, these lessons have been applied to non-mainstream models, always keeping in mind C. Elegans as an example
A pressure-release valve at the aboral pole of a sea anemone redefines body openings as hydraulic regulators, not just guts.

Happy to share our last protocol for efficient endogenous gene tagging in Medaka. We hope this will encourage genetic and imaging approaches in other non-conventional fish models. A big thank you to all co-authors, and congrats to the first author Simon Knoblich

Dictyostelids are a species-rich clade of cellular slime molds that are widely found in soils and have been studied for over a century. Due to a lack of genome editing methods, most molecular research...
Pleased to be again a trainer for the EMBO Practical Course: C. elegans, from genome editing to imaging.
Register if you want to learn about (one of) the best model organism for genetics and imaging

In animals, species-specific organs and nervous systems are patterned from the developing neuroectoderm by conserved canonical Wnt signals. However, how these developmental trajectories diverged throu...
