Expansion of chromosome F heterochromatin in parthenogenetic Drosophila mercatorum biorxiv.org/content/10.110… #biorxiv_evobio
Excited to share our new study revealing the intricate dynamics of pregnancy & postpartum physiology! We analyzed 40M lab tests from 300K pregnancies and 160K women (cross-sectional), we mapped week-by-week changes starting from preconception to months-long postpartum recovery.
Very excited to see my first first author paper published in @PNASNews . We found the first effector regulator in plant-parasitic nematodes! Congratulations to all authors and co first author @ClemPellegrin. pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…
Paper @PNASNews We think nematodes break open plant cells, sense small molecules (termed effectostimulins), which switch on a master regulator SUGR1, which switches on effectors, which break cells. Looks like a feed-forward loop driving infection. pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

1/9 Glad to share the latest work from @VasadL. A collaborative effort to study the role of the electron transport chain in microglia during development. nature.com/articles/s4225… rdcu.be/dONoN @NatMetabolism @ibis_sevilla @unisevilla @CSIC #Microglia #Mitochondria
New paper! Our stick insects have weird chromosome segregation. The major centromere protein, CenH3, binds to the autosomes in a monocentric pattern, but in a holocentric pattern on the X. doi.org/10.1101/2024.0…
New paper! Dosage compensation in male reproductive tissues is present only in the early nymphal stages. This is likely due to the establishment of meiotic sex chromosome inactivation during development. doi.org/10.1101/2024.0…
Now out in print @CellPressNews cell.com/cell-genomics/… Working hypothesis is that for some nematode effectors there is a mechanism conceptually similar, but functionally very different, to V(D)J immunoglobulins.

Fully funded 4year PhD in our group @Cambridge_Uni @CropSciCentre studying dynamics of plant-parasitic nematodes Interested in biology, AI, and/or making things? Please apply! Truly regrettably, @BBSRC mandate means UK applicants only. 14th April shorturl.at/norAH
!!! preprint alert !!! The SUbventral-Gland master Regulator (SUGR) of nematode virulence is central to a feed forward loop for host entry. biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Congratulations to first authors @ClemPellegrin and @AnikaDamm (and welcome to twitter Anika!) and the whole team
❗️Call for Group Leaders❗️ The @IJMonod, a leading center for fundamental interdisciplinary research in biology, is seeking to appoint at least two new group leaders. ➡️ijm.fr/?lang=en Apply before February 16th 2024 Application form➡️urlz.fr/ordV
!!!Preprint alert with @B_Mol_ !!! biorxiv.org/content/10.110… The origin, deployment, and evolution of a plant-parasitic nematode effectorome. Includes the effector network, which we think is both beautiful and useful 😍 @plantsci @CropSciCentre @biorxivpreprint
There can’t be a better time to present our recent review/perspective on Gastruloids — a minimalistic model to study complex developmental metabolism | Emerging Topics in Life Sciences | Portland Press portlandpress.com/emergtoplifesc…
!!!New paper alert with @AlexisLSperling !!! @PlantMethods Very nice new in situ protocol for plant-parasitic nematodes - un-ambiguous localisation of multiple transcripts within the same parasite. plantmethods.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…
I have a new parthenogenesis paper with @LabGlover! We found that aneuploidy arises during development in natural Drosophila parthenogens and our genetically induced parthenogens @HeredityJournal doi.org/10.1038/s41437…
Interested in figuring out if an animal is secretly capable of facultative parthenogenesis? @LabGlover and I made our detailed method available It works in Drosophila and is worth a try in other animals!
