Chlamy mutant library
Dear Chlamy community, Thanks to letters of support from many of you, the Chlamy mutant library project is now well underway, and we currently have a pilot collection covering ~10% of all genes. While the paper is still a ways away, we have received many requests for collaborative distribution of individual mutants before we publish. … Continued
