A simple method to dramatically increase C. elegans germline microinjection efficiency
In this bioRxiv manuscript, Gibney et al., (2023) describe a paintbrush based method to improve the speed and survival of microinjections in C. elegans. The authors show a significantly higher injection efficiency when using a paintbrush instead of a pick to transfer worms to and from the agarose pad. The technique is simple as demonstrated in their videos.

Back in action
The briggsae.org site is now up and running.
We are live (almost!)
The briggsae.org website is finally back on track after almost one and half years!
The site went down after changing the service provider. The problem was with database backup that wasn’t working when imported to a new account. It took considerable time and efforts to fix the issue. Currently, the site is being served from a subdirectory of our lab website (www.macwormlab.net). We hope to restore the original site soon.
