Technician III - Department of Microbiology Position Summary This position will be in the lab of Dr. Joseph E. Peters in the Department of Microbiology. Research in the Peters’ lab broadly involves deciphering mechanisms in genome stability and...

The Peters lab is looking for a new team member! The role transposons play in evolution, basic mechanisms regulating transposition, and applying transposons as tools for genome modification with a special focus on guide RNA-directed transposition. cornell.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/CornellCaree...

Congrats @aruizherrera.bsky.social and team!

Exciting news!
The next #PopGroup meeting will take place in Lille 🍟, France, 7–9 January 2026 – just 1 hour by train from London, Brussels, and Paris.

This year, PopGroup will also host ALPHY, the annual meeting of Evolutionary Genomics.

See you there !

Thank you to all #EDRC2025 participants and a big applause to the organizing committee for this great #Drosophila meeting! See you all in Bonn for #EDRC2027

Super proud of my PhD student, Ujjayita for a splendid talk in the disease models session at @edrc2025.bsky.social conference in Alicante, Spain. Confident, balanced and well defended! Loved the scientific content of the conference & had a great time! #EDRC2025 #Drosophila

This morning I had the fantastic opportunity of presenting my postdoctoral research at @edrc2025.bsky.social
A big thank you to the organizers and all participants for creating such a stimulating environment for scientific discussion!

Dear JEDIs,
as we are self-organizing using the #EDRC as a nucleator we decided it is time for a JEDI database to boost our network! If you identify as a JEDI, please contact us here or send a mail to katja.rust@uni-marburg.de to be added to our database.

Very honoured to be given the opportunity to present at my favourite research conference @edrc2025.bsky.social in yesterdays panel on Disease models. I appreciated the engaging discussion and look forward to seeing more talks on the amazing work done in Drosophila!

3, 2, 1 and we are on!!! #EDRC2025 is starting! Welcome to our more than 740 participants from more than 40 countries! Thank you to all our sponsors!

In the starting blocks for #EDRC2025!
Come see our work at posters 100 and 155 and during the Gene expression in the 3D nuclear space workshop!

Arrived in Alicante, and excited for this year’s #EDRC2025! 🪰🧪🔬🧫🥼🧬🪰 The #LMS is well represented at the meeting - catch us at our talk/poster presentations!

Discussing mosquitoes and fruitflies #transposons with @lambrechtslab.bsky.social lab at @pasteur.fr. Great science in a great place. Congrats to the new @sorbonne-universite.fr Doctor Alexander Bergman!

Only a few hours left before our meeting starts! Are you travelling to #EDRC2025 now? Let us know by using the oficial #EDRC2025 hashtag!

Welcome! #EDRC2025

Super excited for the European Drosophila Research Conference 2025 in Alicante, Spain. Going to be 4 days of exciting science and lots of fun! My PhD student, Ujjayita will be giving a talk and I have a poster. Pls do drop by! 😊

The @fly-eds.bsky.social is having its general assembly this saturday at 13:30 at #EDRC2025 , please join us to discuss our society and to find out more about @flybase.bsky.social and the current funding crisis

Excited to attend #EDRC2025 in Alicante, starting today! If you want to know more about the impact of genetic variation, come visit my poster P-023 Saturday afternoon and learn about FlyCADD, our impact prediction tool for SNPs! 🧬

C. elegans is a real animal and we set out to understand how it comes to have its distinctive biogeography. Its ancestral center of diversity is in the higher elevation forests of Hawaii. Its closest relatives are spread across east Asia. Did they travel from Asia? [Preprint 🧵]

A method for identifying local adaptation in structured populations Species occupy diverse, heterogeneous environments, which expose populations to spatially varied selective pressures. Populations in different environments can diverge due to local adaptation. However...

In 2020, O Gaggiotti, J Goudet and I showed that Qst-Fst comparison was uncalibrated with high population structure.

During her PhD with us, Isa do O developed LogAV: a method that accounts for any population structure while testing for local adaptation :

Thanks @aruizherrera.bsky.social and @dariloops.bsky.social @segenetica.bsky.social for organizing. Thanks also to the students for the tons of questions and to professors for sharing their enthusiam for science! A great experience to be part of the course!! @csic.es

Dear JEDIs, the #EDRC meeting is coming soon! Who is joining? Looking forward to meeting everyone next week!

Transposable elements are vectors of recurrent transgenerational epigenetic inheritance DNA methylation loss at transposable elements (TEs) can affect neighboring genes and be epigenetically inherited in plants, yet the determinants and significance of this additional system of inheritan...

Happy to share the results of a long-haul post-doc project, now online @science.org, aiming at understanding the rules of transgeneration epigenetic inheritance over TEs in plants and its extent and impact in nature. More below!

🔬✨ En la sesión de tarde del #CNG2025 exploramos el genoma en movimiento con @gonzalezlabbcn.bsky.social y su clase sobre elementos móviles, y nos sumergimos en la evolución de su arquitectura 3D con @aruizherrera.bsky.social @ibb-uab.bsky.social

🧬🌄 En el #CNG2025 también hay espacio para respirar ciencia… ¡y aire puro! Disfrutando de la sierra de Madrid entre sesiones genómicas. Ciencia con vistas!

Join us! Great line up of speakers on an interesting topic! Thanks to @csic.es Conexion GENOMA for making it possible #TEsky @sesbe-org.bsky.social @sebbm.bsky.social @segenetica.bsky.social @droseu.bsky.social

Trump's Harvard cuts threaten a giant in biomedical research: A database about the tiny fruit fly This spring, the Trump administration rescinded a grant that maintained FlyBase, a pillar of global basic research, as part of its broader $2.2 billion funding cuts at Harvard.

Loosing #FlyBase / @flybase.bsky.social would be a blow to modern science: an unprecedented information hub combining data across levels of complexity from genes to organisms, reaching out to other species & humans, meticulously reporting on 120 years of research!
