Our latest work on CRISPR gene editing in non-model gut bacteria of mosquitoes. Knockout and knockin in an Enterobacter species. Exciting for dissecting host-microbe interactions and symbiotic control. Great work by Shivanand Hegde & pornjarim nilyanimit. LSTM and UTMB News. Please RT

Excited to enter the wonderful (and wacky) world of protists with Jane Carlton

Our paper describing expression of pseudogenes in Sodalis glossinidius is now out in #MGen. Thanks to many co-authors: Frances Blow @acdarby John Kenny Martin Ráček Beer Mee et al. Thanks to Microbiology Society & the editors too. microbiologyresearch.org/content/journa…

NYU COVID-19 antibody study: Calling all volunteers! We are developing a SARS-CoV-2 antibody detection test for research & need New York City metropolitan area volunteers for a short online survey & home-based fingerpick blood sample nyupublichealth nyu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_8q…


Our latest paper on the trichy genome of the sexually transmitted parasite Trichomonas vaginalis: Small RNAs Are Implicated in Regulation of Gene and Transposable Element Expression in the Protist Trichomonas vaginalis msphere.asm.org/content/6/1/e0… Congrats Sally Warring Frances Blow

Very proud to see the main project from my PhD published today. Much thanks to Jane Carlton, Frances Blow, Grace Avecilla and others. Small RNAs Are Implicated in Regulation of Gene and Transposable Element Expression in the Protist Trichomonas vaginalis msphere.asm.org/content/6/1/e0…

Trichy sexually transmitted parasite #Trichomonas vaginalis is choc-a-bloc with transposable elements. Ever wondered how it silences them? New paper from Sally Warring @genome_jane Frances Blow suggests thru a small RNA pathway. msphere.asm.org/content/6/1/e0… ASM #mSphere






Our paper on Spiroplasma in (G. f. fuscipes) Tsetse is out in Scientific Reports : nature.com/articles/s4159… | Frances Blow @acdarby
