I am thrilled to present the Mosquito Cell Atlas! We analyzed 367K nuclei from 19 tissues in male & female mosquitoes, creating a comprehensive resource for vector biology & infectious disease research. Plus we made some surprising discoveries! 🦟🧵 biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… 1/n

Interested in transposable elements (#TEs) of Aedes aegypti #mosquitoes? @DaronJosquin produced a unified, manually curated TE library (available upon request). Analysis of TE organization and dynamics in the Ae. aegypti genome showcases the value of this new TE library.

Wonder what distinguishes Aedes mosquitoes from others? Here we start to look into Aedes specific innovations that may explain their incredible vector competence for arboviruses! Great collaboration led by @carlosestvez7 and @sofaltavaeu. We also thank our incredible reviewers!

Happy to share our work where we investigated the origin, evolution and function of loqs2, a double-stranded binding protein found specifically in the Stegomya subgenus of Aedes mosquitoes. Cheers to @CarlosEstvez7 @joaotmarques @ericgd and all authors. link.springer.com/10.1186/s1…
