The fourth TE invasion in one century - the stealthy invasion of Tirant in Drosophila melanogaster. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Finally :)

A fourth transposable element invasion in Drosophila melanogaster in the mid 20th Century. Seems to me that invasions are rare on an evolutionary timescale, but four in mid C20th alone! Big difference in 20th century - human impact on environment?

Our new work in MER: Assembly quality from the perspective of junk -> how to create and identify reliable assemblies of repetitive regions onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.111… Florian Schwarz FilipWierzbicki

Check out our new paper in Molecular Ecology Resources! Florian Schwarz Robert Kofler Our work may help to reliably identify polymorphisms in assemblies of piRNA clusters and thus to understand the evolution of piRNA clusters and their role in TE invasions. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.111…

Congratulations FilipWierzbicki, Florian Schwarz, Robert Kofler, and Odontsetseg Cannalonga on the new publication! We are excited to be included in your #research! #MolecularEcology #genomics Check out their paper: hubs.la/H0RwqT60

I am very happy to see our study on the evolution of piRNA clusters out in Molecular Ecology! Great collaboration with @signor_molevol and Robert Kofler doi.org/10.1111/mec.16… 1/5

Attention, world! We're proudly releasing Florian Schwarz, PhD Florian Schwarz into your arms - he just defended his thesis "Towards Unraveling the Dynamics of Transposable Elements". Off to new #adventures, Florian!

Congrats 👏 🥂 Florian Schwarz EES@LMU Universität München !!!! Good to see so many successful #EESalumni
