We're pleased to announce the release of mosquito genome variation data from phase 3 of the Anopheles gambiae 1000 Genomes project (Ag1000G). bit.ly/2ZoARE8 Some highlights and further info in this thread...

New preprint showing how Harun Njoroge and (amongst others)Charles Mbogo EricLucas @xgraubove @Sanjay_C_Nagi Dave Weetman Oruni Ambrose, PhD leveraged the Ag1000g data set to identify important new insecticide resistance variants biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Pleased to be sharing our work refuting the evidence for negative density dependent dispersal in tsetse flies. Evidence for NDDD in this taxon, which exaggerates the risk of re-invasion after population control, is an artefact of improper analysis journals.plos.org/plosntds/artic…
