Today is Holocaust Memorial Day. It's sobering on this day to reflect this week, the U.S. has (1) proposed a Federal registry of people with autism & (2) sent a questionnaire to Barnard employees asking if they are Jewish. nytimes.com/2025/04/23/n... cbsnews.com/news/rfk-jr-...
ICYMI: REDfly database has moved to Bluesky! Follow us at redfly-database.bsky.social for news and updates. Come try our new Search interface (beta) at redfly.ccr.buffalo.edu
REDfly is moving to Bluesky! Please follow us at @redfly-database.bsky.social for all our latest updates #drosophila #arthropods #genomics #gene-regulation
Major new update! Not only did we add ~50 new reporter constructs and update info on over 800 more, we introduced the beta version of our new Search and Download interface with vastly expanded and improved functionality. Try it out! #cisreg #enhancers #drosophila
In her compelling op-ed published @Suntimes, @SocDevBio President Dr. Carole LaBonne warns that rapid innovation may not be suitable for science—where careful methodology, peer review, and sustained funding are key. If rushed, it risks breaking the very foundation of scientific progress. Read the full letter to understand why science needs stability. ⬇️⬇️
#Arthropod #Genomics Symposium 2025 The AGS organisers would like to know your preferences for AGS 2025, please spread the word amongst your colleagues in arthropod genomics research. Please complete this short survey: forms.gle/qZkShQYpuBa55Y…

Global biodata resources are at risk - funding models are fragile and unsustainable. Support the GBC's Open Letter to call for solutions. Science leaders have already signed the letter, please join them. Read and sign the letter here bit.ly/3UT0c6n #biodatacounts
Excited to report the final version of our paper out today: In @eLife: Regulatory genome annotation of 33 insect species doi.org/10.7554/eLife.… Kudos to all involved in this monumental effort that provides a preliminary regulatory annotation of 33 insect genomes. (1/3)
My commentary on the closure of @VectorBase. Join me in rallying for its sustainable continuation. Comment, repost, and circulate. Let’s ensure this vital resource remains accessible for our global #VectorBiology research community.
Very happy to share that our paper on regulatory #evolution of the #Drosophila and #Aedes aegypti sim locus is out today in @PLOSGenetics. Kudos to Isabella, Bill, and Geyenna for tackling this massive project and bringing #mosquito genetics to our lab! journals.plos.org/plosgenetics/a…
We've updated! Lots of new and revised (more staging details) CRMs.
Are you PI? Support your favorite VEuPathDB resource in our upcoming grant application - find the support letter that applies to you here: sites.google.com/view/veupathdb

Please support the Drosophila community by voting in the #Fly_Board_Election by Jan 23 2023. All members of the fly community are invited to vote for Vice President, Treasurer, & representatives for the Fly Board.Ballot info & candidate statements are here genetics-gsa.org/2023-fly-elect…
REDfly v9.6 is out! Now with all #Drosophila records linked to JBrowse for viewing in their genomic context. Also with 124 brand-new records from 15 new publications and over 600 records revised with add'l data. #Arthropod #Genomics #gene_regulation
We are being more conservative now in what we call a CRM vs. simply a "reporter construct." This reduces the risk of sequences with novel activity being overlooked, but doesn't otherwise affect the data in REDfly. Stay tuned for more updates/new features!
We updated the database yesterday! 72 brand-new sequences/22 new papers/lots of add'l data added to existing records. There's a disproportionate number of new "CRM" records, due to a tweak of the algorithm we use to define "CRMs" #Arthropod #Genomics #gene_regulation #Drosophila
Home of @REDfly_database! Fantastic computational resources, excellent colleagues, and the 2024 Super Bowl champions (aspirationally).
We're hiring! Two TT positions at the Assistant/Associate level. Please spread the word/RT. ubjobs.buffalo.edu/postings/38114. "...expertise in genetics, genomics, bioinformatics, metabolism, developmental bio, neuroscience, regulation of gene expression, & protein structure/function."
Our latest paper describing improvements in REDfly is out: REDfly: An Integrated Knowledgebase for Insect Regulatory Genomics mdpi.com/1719560 #mdpiinsects via @Insects_MDPI
REDfly v9.5.2 is out, with almost 7000 new or updated records, including over 2000 new #Drosophila CRMs and 56 newly-curated publications!
