This male Heliophanus cupreus (the small one) offered a prey to feed the female before mating. This gift reduces his risk of being cannibalized right after mating.

Very happy to share that our study on macroH2A in Gryllus bimaculatus 🦗 is now published in @pnas.org ! 🎉 This work, central to my PhD thesis, uses endogenous KI, KO, and deletion of the non-histone region to explore what macroH2A does in vivo in an invertebrate. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

I’m happy to announce that our preprint is out! 🧬🐭 We show that the mouse HSR selfish DNA kills embryos that do not inherit it through a toxin–antidote system, thereby increasing its transmission to the next generation. ⚡ Feedback is welcome! @takashiakeralab.bsky.social #SelfishDNA #meiosis4eva

So excited to share this manuscript led by the inimitable Cara Brand, who discovered that Topoisomerase II evolution causes hybrid female lethality in Drosophila. Congrats to Cara, @nickbr0wn.bsky.social, Anirban, and @buszczaklab.bsky.social! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Just discovered the wonderful covers of 'Genes to Cells', the journal of the Molecular Biology Society of Japan @mbsj-official.bsky.social – absolutely beautiful! here some examples inspired by mitosis, CRISPR, the DNA helix, and plant pigments
