Peek behind the paper: CRISPR-PN2: a flexible and genome aware platform for diverse CRISPR experiments in parasitic nematodes

Delve behind the scenes of a recent Benchmark paper published in BioTechnqiues entitled, "CRISPR-PN2: a flexible and genome aware platform for diverse CRISPR experiments in parasitic nematodes." Beginning his life in academia with a Ph.D. from Maynooth University (Ireland) under the tutelage of Ann Burnell, Damien O’Halloran fostered an interest in the senses of nematodes and how they interpret their environments. O'Halloran established a lab at George Washington University (D.C., USA) in 2012, focussing it on his passion in an attempt to understand how the free-living nematode, Caenorhabditis elegans encodes sensory information and how parasitic nematodes locate and recognize appropriate...
