NZ & Aussie geneticists, apply/nominate your students & colleagues for our 2024 awards for senior, mid & early career scientists, educators, & PhD students! Applications due midnight 8th March AEST genetics.org.au/awards/

Very pleased to have this huge chunk of my PhD out in @GenomeBiolEvol! Lots of cool stories about genes involved in detoxification and steroid metabolism in insects, as well as lessons about what evolution can teach us about gene function… doi.org/10.1093/gbe/ev…

Also congratulations to Sanjay Kumar Pradhan from @westsyduhie who has won a NovaSeq 6000 S1 Flowcell + library construction from @illumina & @ramacgenomics to explore the Queensland fruit fly virome! We're excited to see the outcomes of both of these experiments in the future!

GSA Student Research Grant 2023-24: Congratulations to Mary Hawkes from @OtagoBiochemist who has won a NovaSeq 6000 S1 Flowcell + library construction from @illumina & @AgResearchNEWS to investigate the transcriptomes of early development in kuku (green lipped mussel)!

My last PhD paper is up as a preprint! Have a read if you like functional genetics in Drosophila, insect hormones, or incongruous results between CRISPR and RNAi…

@OhlsteinLab Thanks so much, I’ll send him an email!

@BenForWard3 @OhlsteinLab Without any disrespect to the paper, which is very good, it does pain me to admit that too, haha. Disapproved a big hypothesis of mine I only just published this year doi.org/10.1016/j.ibmb…

@OhlsteinLab @JackLScanlan Great pape!

@OhlsteinLab Congrats on solving a mystery I’ve been thinking about for many years! Your experiments are very convincing and I don’t think I believe my recycling hypothesis anymore. But do you think 20E is synthesised, stored and released from DIOM, or secreted as soon as it is made?
