It has been a long journey, but I am very happy to share our newly published article! This article highlights a big part of my Ph.D. work investigating the role of Aristaless1 in butterfly development. Co-authors: Nick, Darli @darli_massardo, and Marcus. https://t.co/mz0Y7j99pX

#onlywithHCR: Visualizing RNA Expression in Drosophila Pupal Development 🔬

A study on Drosophila by Bayala et al. highlights a novel protocol using HCR™ technology to study RNA expression in the fragile and impermeable tissues of the Drosophila epidermis during pupal development.

@EXBayala and his co-authors describe a method for dissecting tissue and detecting RNA across various stages, including early and late pupal stages, as well as larval imaginal discs.

Powered by HCR™ imaging, this approach allows for the study of dynamic gene expression patterns throughout the pupal development process, overcoming the challenges of tissue fragility and impermeability.

Very happy to share that our Wnt Signaling work is on the cover of Science Advances. We showed how different Wnt ligands, receptors, and the signal transducer Armadillo controls complex biological patterns using butterfly wings as a model system.

Two new papers from @EXBayala and Marcus Kronforst on #aristaless #genes during #butterfly development find a dual role for #Al1 in appendage formation and wing pigmentation, and divergent expression to #Al2. https://t.co/WBPxGW3fju and https://t.co/1YZACUXxI1. #Evolution

[Erick Bayala Rodríguez @EXBayala]

Our 2nd article is now officially published as well. It investigates differences in the expression of Al1 and Al2 across embryonic and pupal development in butterflies. Thanks to the Co-authors: @isabellaclsci, @darli_massardo, Nick, and Marcus. https://t.co/hXOKcwpoF0

@isabellaclsci Congrats! Was such an amazing experience working together on this project. Great work!!!

[Isabella Cisneros @isabellaclsci]

Very happy to announce that I have submitted my B.S. thesis on aristaless2! Being a part of this project was so rewarding and I am incredibly grateful to @EXBayala and the Kronforst Lab for all of their mentorship and support. Looking forward to the next chapter of my career!

[Erick Bayala Rodríguez @EXBayala]

Very excited to share our new preprint! Here we analyze expression pattern differences between aristaless1 and aristaless2 and their functional implications for appendage formation and color patterning. Thanks to the authors: @isabellaclsci @darli_massardo

Happy to share our preprint (Bayala et al.,2021) of part of my Ph.D. story in the Kronforst lab. This work seeks to characterize both ancestral (appendages) and novel (color patterning) roles of Aristaless1 in the development of Heliconius butterflies.
