Ante el éxito del mosquito robótico del tío Bill, os presentamos la Drosophila Mecanicus Testiculae (Robomosca cojonera)
No inocula nada pero molesta mucho y no sirven los insecticidas.

🚨New pre-print 🚨
Check out our new story biorxiv.org/content/10.110…. Here we show how a fungal pathogen exploits host immune system to induce cell loss in the brain. Big thanks to all the contributing authors. #Toll #immunity #hostpathogen

The video showed China Port Customs checked a luggage claimed to contain clothing only. But when scanned, the Customs Officer found there were more than 60 bottles containing the larvae of Drosophila.

The luggage came from the US.

Bio-warfare attack?🤔

Congratulations to the #CiocanelLab on their paper published on 'Minimal Mechanisms of Microtubule Length Regulation in Living Cells' at the Bulletin of Mathematical Biology.'

The goal was to understand what controls microtubule length in dendrites of Drosophila neurons.

I am excited to share that our preprint “Nutritional state-dependent modulation of Insulin-Producing Cells in Drosophila” is now available on BioRxiv. A thread🧵 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Okay, today I was able to operate (disect) a Drosophila melanogaster (fruit fly)
(But this guy in our group didn't take a proper pic via mic..🥲)

Wonderful talk by Séverine Chambeyron tracking TE mobilization on piwi-mutated Drosophila strains.

TE families explore specific niches for mobilization during embryogenesis!
Work done from genomics to single-cell ATAC-seq resolution 🤯

Here's a list of mating times for various insects, ranging from brief encounters to more prolonged rituals:

1. Fruit Flies (Drosophila melanogaster): Mating can last from a few seconds to several minutes.

My team at CRBM in Montpellier, France is looking for a postdoc on the sub-nuclear coordination of transcription during embryo development. If you have experience with Drosophila and are interested in quantitative imaging, you can contact me directly to apply.

พี่นัมจุนเล่าว่าตื่นมาตอนตีสี่เพราะได้ยินเสียง หวื้ดๆๆ ก็เลยตรงไปห้องครัว เจอจองกุกกำลังใช้เครื่องดูดฝุ่นดูดแมลงหวี่ แล้วแมลงหวี่ก็หายหมด 5555555555

// สำเนียงดีมาก แถมเรียกแมลงหวี่ด้วยชื่อวิทยาศาสตร์ด้วย Drosophila 🥹

Started the day as early as 5AM Calgary time with an engaging presentation at the Drosophila Research Training Centre, Ibadan, on Time Management & Academic Advancement as part of the onboarding process for our 3 students who recently joined the research center as interns.…
