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.

Please add your reading list! Our shiny collagen IV paper is out now😎 Enjoy beautiful red and green images! Yes, I MUST do molecular characterization of this "beauty" collagen IV... My TO-DO list is too much😅
Mao, Gould et al. introduce a novel tagged Col4a1 mouse model for studying basement membrane dynamics, which provides important details of COL4A1 turnover in cerebral vasculature & shows that Col4a1 heterozygous deletion is better tolerated than missense mutations rupress.org/jcb/article/...

A membrane proximal actin probe (MPAct) in fly macrophages unveils an actin cortex interconnected with the lamellar network. The homeostatic balance of these two actin networks is coordinated by the cortical-regulator, Moesin. Amazing work from @besaizsanchez.bsky.social and team.
