🧵Excited to share my first author preprint detailing much of my dissertation work! Here we used gene editing to retrace the horizontal transfer of a bacterial gene that now encodes an anti-parasitoid toxin in Drosophila: biorxiv.org/content/10.110… /1

New paper out today in @PNASNews by @kirvers in collaboration with Gyöngyi Cinege at the Biological Research Center in Hungary. Details the evolution of new #Drosophila genes through #horizontalgenetransfer #hgt that confer parasitoid resistance. doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2…
