Der Baum steht, aber ... mich würde mal interessieren, was ist eure nerdigste Weihnachtskugel? Bitte mit Bild! 🤓
Gern boosten für einen schönen Retro-Katalog 🥰 🎄 #retrogaming

So while I was out gathering the Christmas dinner, my husband messed around with some leftover gingerbread dough.

New #GeneGroups subset: Metabolic Pathways!

These manually curated reports aim to facilitate metabolic research in Drosophila by providing high-quality gene lists and visual representations of fly metabolic pathways, integrated with the other rich data in FlyBase. For example, see CHITIN BIOSYNTHESIS http://flybase.org/reports/FBgg0002045.htm

You can access Metabolic Pathways by searching via the Pathways QuickSearch tab, or by browsing the Metabolic Pathways list http://flybase.org/lists/FBgg/metabolicpathways

Metabolic Pathway reports include a curated list of genes that have been experimentally shown or are predicted to act within a pathway.

Two visual representations of the pathway are provided: a “text-book” representation (Pathway Thumbnail) manually drawn by FlyBase curators,

As with GAL4 drivers, the lexA driver expression patterns represented on this resource are not the entire expression pattern, but are limited to the pattern subsets used by the community as research tools.

It's a Christmas miracle because I burnt my tortilla and the face of Skeletor magically appeared!

Please boost for visibility so the news outlets will pick up on this great story.

Happy #FossilFriday, check out these beautiful semionotid fossils! These particular individuals would have made their home in a massive lake that covered most of southwestern North America 200 million years ago, and they may have found themselves as prey of theropod dinosaurs. (1/3)
