Abstract Summary

Researchers developed SKI PLACE, a streamlined gene insertion system for C. elegans that uses just one plasmid to target any chromosome. This CRISPR/Cas9-based tool simplifies transgene insertion with standardized harbor sites, flexible cloning options, and easy tracking—making genetic studies more efficient.

Why Brain? 🧠

New CRISPR tool enables precise single-copy gene insertion at any chromosome location in C. elegans using one plasmid, streamlining genetic studies and accelerating research on gene function.
