Very happy to share that the second chapter of Marlène Roy's PhD work is out in GBE ! Infections by Transovarially Transmitted DMelSV in Drosophila Have No Impact on Ovarian Transposable Element Transcripts but Increase Their Amounts in the Soma academic.oup.com/gbe/article/13…

Today was a wonderful day 1 of #UppTransposon2021 featuring diverse transposons and diverse transposologists. See you all for day 2! #transposon

📣 That's it! We made it! We are open for registration and abstract submission! iss10holobiont3.sciencesconf.org 🔬Come enjoy Science & Lyon! 🍷 Wine visits, excellent invited speakers, and a hell of an organization team (*cough cough ). RT please 🎙️! 📣 Make it loud ! #issholobiont2022

👉Hi! How about you join us in Lyon in a couple of months to talk about #symbiosis #holobiont #onehealth & #virus ? Registration is open for #issholobiont2022 @ iss10holobiont3.sciencesconf.org ! I'm sure enjoying all the submitted abstracts 🕵️‍♀️ ! See you soon 🤩 ! RT ↩️!! http

Daniel S Oliveira presents chimeraTE, a clever pipeline to identify TE-gene chimeric transcripts not relying on ref genome. Enables finding chimeric RNA involving polymorphic TE insertions. Neat tool and great talk! #DNASRC22

Cristina Vieira did a great talk about the presence of transposable elements inside/nearby genes and their respective effects on gene expression, between Drosophila populations and species adapted to different environments! #DNASRC22

Extremely cool story by @EmilieBrasset showing Drosophila germline piRNAs can silence invading ZAM RNA produced and presumably packaged in VLP in surrounding somatic follicular cells. I ❤️ fly ovaries! Ultimate playground for TE-host hide-and-seek #DNASRC22

Camille Mayeux did a great talk at #CNET2022 regarding TE activity and control dynamics under viral infection in Drosophila. Her findings are pointing out that TE expression is different depending on Drosophila species and strain, even upon infection of the same virus 🦠

Miriam Merenciano showed us how longevity difference between males and females may be associated with up regulation of TEs between old males and females in Drosophila! 🧬 #CNET2022

@rita_rebollo just told us the fantastic history about TEs regulation in the cereal weevil S. oryzae and its potential association with an endosymbiotic bacteria! #CNET2022

I'm super happy to share with you the pre-print of my first PhD paper! Thank you so much to the collaborators, specially Cristina Vieira, @rita_rebollo and Claudia Carareto! If you're interested on TEs and transcriptomics, check it out the pre-print here! doi.org/10.1101/2022.0…

Extremely happy to see our last paper published Dr. Josefa González! 🥳🥳academic.oup.com/mbe/article/40… We establish causal links between the presence of a TE and its molecular and phenotypic effects by using a combination of techniques including CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing! 👇

The TE people is gathered at the #SMBE2023 🧬➰🧬 Amazing talks and stunning architecture at Ferrara 🇮🇹 Anaïs Larue Miriam Merenciano Camille Mayeux Marta Coronado-Zamora

If you are interested in transposable elements and their role in the sex gap longevity in #Drosophila, come to see poster 848 this afternoon! #SMBE2023
