Ok one more #Drosophila #Dros25 Q:
I've never used the NIG-FLY RNAi lines, but will be. Anything I should know?
I guess they're generated with a method similar to GD lines from VDRC (i.e. random insertion, long hairpins). Also PMID27730578 notes may be poorly balanced?
NIG = great price tho! 🤩

Hey #Drosophila Sky and #Dros25 folks, I'm looking to help someone screen some candidate genes in muscle via RNAi.
Any recommended Gal4s? Right now planning on Mef2-GAL4, but in past have noticed this driver has some lethality in parent stock (in my old lab), so another option would be good.

Ach, it's such a shame. I'll be heading to San Diego for a GRC on antimicrobial peptides in late Feb. But I can't stick around that long to hop over for #Dros25

p.s. I will try to update this with relevant conference hashtags whenever they are going on. For instance, right now #EntSoc24 and #Dros25 are both included in the feed.
If you know of a major entomological conference in the next few months, ping me and I'll add it to the list of hashtags!

At the SciComm networking hotspot at #DROS25 we actually discussed the potential impact of communicating through hometown newspapers, so I am happy to join in this initiative and hope others will consider!
Join us! Science Homecoming helps scientists reconnect with communities by writing about the importance of science funding in their hometown newspapers. We’ve mapped every small newspaper in the U.S. and provide resources to get you started. Help science get back home 🧪🔬🧬 🏠
