Ep.4 A new wormy role model for genetics - a discussion with Dr. Mengyi Cao
A new role model for genetics? Tune into this latest episode of Genetics in Your World podcast where Dr. Cao from Caltech shares her team’s development of a new genetically tractable model system in the #nematode Steinernema hermaphroditum!
Ep.3. Building a MAP for growth - a Discussion with Dr. Rose King
A MAP for growth?🙂 Listen to the latest Genetics in your world podcast episode where Dr. King tells us how she developed novel tools to better understand the unreported roles of MT-associated proteins within the nucleus of budding yeast.
Ep.2. CRISPRi in the fission yeast - a discussion with Dr. Ken Ishikawa
Gene repression with the efficiency and specificity of CRISPR in yeast is no longer a dream! In this episode of Genetics in your world, Dr. Ishikawa tells us about how he and colleagues adapted CRISPR interference for fission yeast, allowing controllable reversible and efficient transcriptional repression. Check out the paper,— “Implementation of dCas9-mediated CRISPRi in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe,”—that was published in the February 2021 issue of G3.
