At long last, I'm pleased to share our findings characterizing the genetics of rattlesnake chemoperception! 🐍 Paper out today in JME with Darin Rokyta, Micaiah Ward, PhD, Gibbs Lab OSU, Scales of biodiversity, @floridastate Link: rdcu.be/ci8Mk

We manipulated corticosterone levels (hormone often associated with stress) in rattlesnakes in the field and it didn't affect their venom 🐍🥂 Check it out here: journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1086/71… Emily Taylor Matthew L Holding Darin Rokyta @verntasco @manakin_man

Twitter friends, I would be grateful if you could RT across your networks the excellent news that 11th Asia-Pacific Congress of the International Society on #Toxinology is going ahead in hybrid format from November 1 to 5. Program details & registration at ist2021.org

On October 29th we'll be hosting a seminar celebrating the amazing research of ECRs across the Americas! The session will be starting at 3pm (BST) hope to see you there! lstmed-ac-uk.zoom.us/meeting/regist… Anna Klompen, PhD Health Action International Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene

Speaker two is Schyler Ellsworth a Ph.D. candidate in the Rokyta Lab at FSU. Schyler uses multiple "omic" techniques to investigate venom evolution and the coevolution of venom resistance in many invertebrate species including centipedes

Great fun!

Department of Biology at Florida State University fsubio has openings for TWO new tenure track Assistant Professors, one in Genomics and one in Microbiology. Review of applications begins 12/13. bio.fsu.edu/current_facult…

Our conference webpage for "Pathogens and Natural Toxins e-Conference" 1 Jul–31 Aug 2022 is online! sciforum.net/event/PNTEC With a special style: 📽️👩‍🔬Video Presentation Submission! 🎬👨‍🔬 Early Bird: 1st Feb Deadline: 1st Jun Benefits for Low-income countries and Students 💸

Friendly reminder to apply for #GRSVenom22 and #GRCVenom22! We’ve been busy planning and fundraising and will begin reviewing and accepting applications in early spring 2022. We want to hear about your #venom research!

We applied phylo. path analysis to snake venom: diets related to both the venom gene diversity and patterns of expression. Proteases best fit this pattern, phospholipases fit another, venom lectins still confuse us - led by @AnacondrewMason Gibbs Lab OSU academic.oup.com/mbe/advance-ar…

Ok, this one’s easy folks! Obviously the best GBE cover from 2022 is the amazing snake artwork! And trust me I’m not biased! Shoutout to Tristan D. Schramer for putting this cover together! Pᴀʀᴋɪɴsᴏɴ Lᴀʙ Rʜᴇᴛᴛ M. Rᴀᴜᴛsᴀᴡ 🐍 @jstrickland63 Darin Rokyta

A three-year postdoc position is now available in our group at the University of Oslo on a very exciting project identifying toxin targets by mass spectrometry! jobbnorge.no/en/available-j…

New paper published today in PNAS! We used a telomere-resolution genome for the eastern diamondback rattlesnake to investigate the epigenomic basis for age-related changes in venom composition. doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2…

New #research from @AndySombke, Eivind Undheim and co. provides evidence that #venom glands and telopodal glandular organs evolved from the same type of epidermal gland, supporting the emergence of novelties on higher levels of biological complexity bit.ly/3VRvLi9

I am excited to share that a large part of my dissertation has been published in the Journal of Molecular Evolution! We used phylogenetics, transcriptomics, and proteomics to describe the evolution of centipede venom. rdcu.be/dOhBU

Francis Ebuara (@ushiebuaras) is a PhD student in Darin Rokyta lab! Their talk "Transposable Elements are Associated with Open Chromatin Regions (OCRs) and may Enhance the Expression of Venom Genes in Eastern Diamondback Rattlesnakes" is in Technologies and Applications #GRSVenom24
