Efficient transgenesis and annotated genome sequence of the regenerative flatworm model Macrostomum lignano

Regeneration capable flatworms have emerged as powerful models for studying stem cell biology and patterning, however their study has been hindered by the lack of transgenesis methods. Here, the authors describe a transgenesis method for Macrostomum lignano, as well as a new annotated genome sequenc...
