So many great talks at IUSSI Lausanne thus far! And now that my talk is done, I may relax and enjoy the rest of the meeting and the included tour 🏞🚢😎
The IUSSI European meeting just started in Lausanne and I'm delighted to be here and excited about all the days ahead!
We don't know much about bee parasitism. Paulo explored this uncharted world in his thesis. In his 1st PhD article (my 1st as last 🥲). We investigate expression differences between host & parasite during reproduction. Teaser: TEs might be involved!

Officially out and peer-reviewed now 😊

We have recently uploaded on NCBI a high quality stingless bee reference genome. Besides describing this assembly, in the preprint we compare it with other corbiculate, showing syntenies, gene changes, and exploring the evolution of venom genes.

We are looking forward to having a diverse set of speakers, from multiple career stages, nationalities, and gender balanced. So, all applications are very welcome! Help us to build a very enriching symposium! #ICE2024 #SocialInsectsGenomics #Kyoto
Check this! We compared the heat resistance and heat-shock response of ants from desert and temperate regions. Guess what? Desert-adapted ants have two responses (reactive or constitutive) and do not DE thousands of genes like temperate ants when heated.

We'll be organising a symposium on Genomics in Ecology & Evolution of Social Insects. Consider joining us in Tokyo!
I just arrived from my first conference in french (the IUSSI French section meeting), where I gave my first talk in FRENCH. I feel like I entered an alternative universe. Surreal.
By the way, great meeting, great research, and great organisation!

One more sequencing round done! Just a zillion more to go 😅

Another mithondrial anecdote from stingless bees: In a single individual we found 6 different control regions!
In this new paper led by @elaine_francoso we show evidences of multiple mtgenome haplotypes in a single bee

Have you heard about whole mitochondrial genome duplication in bees?
In this study led by @elaine_francoso we found that Australian stingless bees surprisingly keep two full copies of their mtgenome in a single molecule #genemoevolution
