Really cool work from Byunghyuk Kim's lab. A male-specific neuron secretes netrin to influence branching/connectivity of a sex-shared interneuron in C. elegans www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Super grateful to have received funding from both the NSF and NIH this year to study stress biology in C. elegans and provide lots of undergraduate research opportunities @uncwilmington.bsky.social and Fayetteville State University!

GPT-5.6 could not correctly solve the C. elegans genetics problem set I wrote! There is still a glimmer of hope for people who think.

How can a tiny worm help researchers understand a genetic variant linked to kidney disease? In #GENETICS, @barrlab.bsky.social uses C. elegans to investigate how an ADPKD-associated variant affects PKD-2 protein localization and sensory function. Read the interview with Juan Wang: buff.ly/bl2sAoy

🪱 Read the latest work from @barrlab.bsky.social in #GENETICS that describes a #Celegans pipeline for mechanistic classification of conserved Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) associated missense variants. 🔗 buff.ly/R2nrikZ
