Congrats! Looks like a super paper.

We've been using Novogene. Good data and quick turnaround for regular worm RNA seq, but the low input takes a while. I am also curious about BioState AI, they may be faster for low input. Has any one tried them for C. elegans or low input samples?

We are excited people are using the tool and it would be super to get feedback from the community!!

Current planned updates:
-new gene annotations based on published work
-option for custom background list
-options for false discovery rate calculations
-making it more intuitive to do batch runs
-cleaning up the SGV files and output directory structures, adding unique names for each file.

The first year the worm meeting was in LA, I dragged the rest of the lab to the tar pits! Super cool spot.

This meeting covers biochemistry, mol biology and physiological impacts of lipid biology. It is also very friendly to model organism people: lots of yeast, 🪱s, 🪰s! Tony Futerman (Weizmann) and Meng Wang (Janelia) are the keynote speakers. Great interactions are the norm and hope to see you there!

(2/2) Our lab is in a new building at UMASS Med where we have a new metabolomics core and interact with other labs working on worms, mammalian metabolism, chromatin and cancer at UMASS Med. www.amywalkerlab.com
