For those who do not work with C. elegans, several groups have designed modular toolkits to assist with tagging genomic loci in other model systems, including mammalian cells. (blog.addgene.org)
Details of the versatile technique, which could be used with other model systems for neuroscience study, will be published Dec. 4 in the journal Nature Communications. (sciencedaily.com)
The zebrafish is often used to tackle questions that can't be answered by studying other model systems such as frogs, chicks or mice. (yourgenome.org)
