New preprint!
We identified 454 conserved small ORFs in the red flour beetle Tribolium castaneum 🪲.
Far from being “junk DNA,” many are deeply conserved (even back to LUCA 🌍) and broadly expressed across tissues.

Analysis of gene expression in Aedes aegypti suggests changes in early genetic control of mosquito development https://t.co/PtpPLJ8Q4k

New preprint from the lab, interested in the feedback from other researchers....

[RodNunesdaFonseca @NunesdaRod]

Preprint from the lab is finally out. For many years we tried to study gene expression during early stages of mosquito embryogenesis..out now

@claudiocastroRJ @claudiocastroRJ exatamente. Para isso precisamos de cientistas a frente da FAPERJ juntando o setor produtivo e a academia. #eudefendoafaperj

Infelizmente nossa fundação de pesquisa do Rio de Janeiro está sob ataque...importante a fundação pesquisa ser administrada por cientistas....acorda @claudiocastroRJ

@oliveirajhm Mas Darcy Ribeiro e outros foram importantes como políticos, não ?

[RodNunesdaFonseca @NunesdaRod]

@oliveirajhm Não entendi eh professor se candidatando a que?

2/2 - Targeting this gene disrupts moulting, gut structure, and the parasite Trypanosoma cruzi's lifecycle, offering new hope for Chagas disease control. #ChagasDisease #VectorControl #Genetics #smORF #RhodniusProlixus #ParasiteResearch

1/2 - Exciting breakthrough! Our latest research reveals the critical role of the smORF-containing gene mlpt/pri/tal in the post-embryonic development of the kissing bug, Rhodnius prolixus.

@Juliusoares @renan90720 @dudelbem E aceitando a proposta do proifes de mais de um mês atrás.... lamentável esse sindicato

@lionlchristiaen @UlrichTechnau @petridou_ni @CellCellPress And spiders and kissing bugs...

@danieltperes Formação de novos militantes..

[Ariel Chipman @ChipmanLab]

Getting excited towards @EED2024 in a few days. A record number of Chipman Lab members will be presenting (mostly in the arthropod satellite) - 5 talks and 2 posters.
I will also bring a copy of my new book to show around.

[RodNunesdaFonseca @NunesdaRod]

@ChipmanLab Are u bringing some to the EuroEvodevo ? I have one student going to the conference, maybe I could buy and he bring for me to Brazil ?

[RodNunesdaFonseca @NunesdaRod]

@oliveirajhm Sim. A questão eh como mudar no curto prazo? Somos uma minoria na sociedade e se continuar assim a tendência eh piorar. A classe média vai se afastar da univ. Pública e os menos favorecidos não tem recursos para ficarem em cursos integrais por vários anos sem bolsa

[RodNunesdaFonseca @NunesdaRod]

@EderCTavares @oliveirajhm Por enquanto saúde e educação continuam com o governo. Com uma base de 130 parlamentares eh difícil governar ainda mais porque uns 250 a 300 sao do Centrão
