Check out this thread - Fantastic paper of our #PhD students @Almoro_Scarpa and @r_pianezza, and alumnus @filwierz - @KoflerRobert group on fire
🚀Our latest paper in @PNASNews!

We found that 3 LTR-retrotransposons 🧬 (412, Blood and Opus) invaded D. mel genome in the 19 ͭ ͪ century!
Thanks to my fantastic collaborators @KoflerRobert, @r_pianezza, and @filwierz. #te #dmel #genetics
