More than a decade since CRISPR-Cas9 knock in came on the scene, it's remained underutilized in emerging models. Using transposase, and a split-FP system, we built an optimized knock in system for use in the genetically-enabled urchin, Lytechinus pictus. bit.ly/4wswLsd

And... it's live! In situ hybridization has been foundational for sea urchin developmental biology. Here we report a fully automated method to probe more than a hundred genes using a general purpose liquid handler.https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.03.23.644641v1

The "superpower" of sea urchins is the fact that a single female can produce millions of embryos. In the next day or so we will share a new method to analyze gene expression methods in these embryos using a fully automated, open platform.
