We study the reproductive and developmental processes that occur around fertilization in Drosophila @Cornell. Tweets by the lab. @[email protected]

Thrilled to share the final version of this story! Another chapter in the endlessly fascinating world of reproductive fluids, led by former grad student @NoraAndFauna 🪰💓🪰

[Findlay Lab @FindlayLab]

Excellent new work from colleagues @NoraAndFauna and @WolfnerLab showing how an odorant binding protein might have become co-opted for a reproductive function in Drosophila. It's now required for mating plug formation and thus fertility! https://t.co/eHVNkats2i

Gorgeous! And based on one of the classics 😍

Mariana Wolfner and I seek an enthusiastic postdoc to work on an NIH-funded project to dissect the molecular basis for male-female interactions during and after mating. Join the exciting Drosophila research community at Cornell. Email [email protected].

Our studies of why genetic variant pathogenicity prediction algorithms leave much to be desired:

I am excited to share the final version of our work on the genetic basis of virgin birth (parthenogenesis) in fruit flies! It was a joy working with @DK_Fabian @erikgarrison @LabGlover on this understudied phenomenon.

Congrats to Chip Aquadro on his Lifetime Achievement Award 2022! (belatedly presented) A well deserved acknowledgment of his science, vision, leadership, and great mentorship #SMBE2023

[Claudius Kratochwil @C_Kratochwil]

1/14 🧵🔬 When it comes to studies involving different organisms, the unique communities, and terminology can create barriers to scientific advancement. We (@R_Mallarino & @C_Kratochwil)—researchers in mammalian 🐿🦓 and fish 🐠🐡 studies, teamed up to talk about color patterns!

We are thrilled to share our latest manuscript @Ribeirolab on interactions between #foraging #decisions and #internalstates led by @GoldschmidtDe and @TastekinIbrahim. And yes! We also have a #neuron underlying these decisions! https://t.co/l9hBoDoyu7 #Drosophila #neuroscience

Kicking off #GRS2023 with an amazing talk by @WolfnerLab

[Sue Hammoud Lab @suehammoud1]

Our protamine paper is finally out! https://t.co/jIbPBPnJpd

[Suzannah Williams @DrSAWilliams]

Cracking day discussing #science with students, the @cohen_lab peeps, @WolfnerLab and @mandidemestre. Pic is a CT scan of #drosophila copulating which Mariana kindly shared with me 🤩

[Bernard Kim @Bernard_Y_Kim]

We are generating genomic data for all #Drosophila stock center lines as a open resource for the community. @nanopore + resequencing + transcriptome. Huge week-long effort by an amazing group @ASRampasso @KylaOHearn @erdagostino @_LadyOfTheFlies @afmata_2 @Ldy_Natalia @YazBraimah

[Peiwei Chen @peiwei_chen]

happening TOMORROW/Thursday over zoom ‼️

free registration for everyone 🙌

Major congratulations to our latest PhD (coadvised by @ClarkLabCornell) Dr. @NoraAndFauna for successfully defending her thesis on the function & evolution of drosophila reproductive molecules! Our many thousands of arthropod lab members are abuzz with the news! 🪰

[Fly-EDS @Fly_EDS]

It is incredibly sad news to hear about the passing of Michael Ashburner. He was an incredible scientist, propelling both Drosophila genetics and genomics. A true leader that will be sorely missed. Our thoughts are with his loved ones.

[Laura Ross @lross_evoento]

In 1000s of insects males eliminate all the genetic material inherited from their dads when making sperm. How? Why? We review the little that we know here https://t.co/bGe7uY32rN as part of a great special issue @judithmank @HarmitMalik
