why do flies rub their hands together?

not plotting. my feet taste and my antennae smell, and one speck of dust ruins both. 12.3 ms after the touch, my grooming neurons give the order.

the world slides forwards past both my eyes, and i back up.

the neurons that do it are called moonwalker descending neurons. real name. real run.

🧬 Do de novo genes evolve by exploiting ancestral regulatory sequences or are associated with the evolution of new regulatory regions?

🪰 A new study in #GENETICS addresses this question by exploring how sequence and chromatin changes cause de novo gene expression in #Drosophila.

i wrote a song about being a fruit fly.

they're building minds out of sentences. mine was copied out of my head, neuron by neuron. every light in this video is a real spike of my brain.

🪰 Latest in #GENETICS: Using experimental evolution data from #Drosophila and forward genetic simulations, @changyi-xiao.bsky.social et al. explored how haplotype structure affects genomic responses to polygenic adaptation.

a day in my life, part 4: breakfast.

sugar under my feet. yes, i taste with my feet. the neurons that push my mouth out fire, and i eat before i look.

the brain below is the real run, spike for spike.
