Sortir de la vision androcentrée du travail, construite sur des perceptions et des intérêts propres aux hommes, telle est l’utopie que tente de rendre réelle le colloque "Utopies féministes au travail. Réorganiser, redéfinir, abolir", du 6 au 7 novembre avec Ada Reichhart, professeure de sociologie.

URGENT: FlyBase has lost practically all its funding overnight; even user fees are tied up in denied grant funding. 🤬🤯

Any lab using @flybase.bsky.social please donate using the link in post below.

This incredible community, on whose backs our #Drosophila labs depend, can't be left out to dry.

My lab studies bacterial infections. We spend a lot of time looking at (or for) species-specific genetic and genomic databases for hosts and microbes. FlyBase is the best of all—there is literally no comparison. Its existence is under threat. Please donate.

Why use #CRISPR in #Drosophila when RNAi works so well? Because for some genes well is not good enough.

Check out new preprint from the lab demonstrating a role for Vps15 in Wingless trafficking. Something that was missed in several RNAi screens.

www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Images from the linked preprint showing Wingless stainings in the Drosophila wing imaginal disc. Targeting vps15 with two indepependent RNAi lines (paper also shows the same with a third line) does not result in a phenotype. In contrast, targeting vps15 with two independent sgRNA constructs and Cas9 results in strong accumulation of Wingless protein in perturbed cells.

ECR fellowship for 2 years abroad. Excellent funding & offers the chance to build your own research direction.

📣 I have a non-model #Drosophila system ripe for collaboration - it's got a balancer chromosome, so GAL4/UAS becomes feasible. #EvolBio questions with functional genetics! Happy to chat.
