New article: Evolutionary constraints and design principles in CRISPR-based mosquito biocontrol.
How resistance evolution, genetic variation, and population structure shape the success of gene drives and other genetic control technologies—and how we can design around challenges

First time break down how mosquitoes taste the world at the molecular and cellular level, from receptors to neurons to behavior. Understanding these tiny sensory mechanisms helps explain much bigger mosquito behaviors. https://t.co/9leiaTmQ5O
In #G3journal, @Omar_Akbari_ lab presents the first-ever transcriptome of the winter tick revealing sex-specific gene expression patterns and identifying the first documented case of sex-specific splicing of a doublesex-like gene in this clade.

Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is like "miracle grow" for your brain, supporting neuron growth and boosting cognition.
A single workout increases BDNF, and regular exercise enhances it even more.
Here’s how to maximize BDNF using exercise 🧵 1/9
