RNA-Seq-Pop: Exploiting the sequence in RNA-Seq - a Snakemake workflow reveals patterns of insecticide resistance in the malaria vector Anopheles gambiae biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
Great RNAseq workflow developed by @Sanjay_C_Nagi and applied to malaria mosquitoes
Pleased to be sharing our work refuting the evidence for negative density dependent dispersal in tsetse flies. Evidence for NDDD in this taxon, which exaggerates the risk of re-invasion after population control, is an artefact of improper analysis journals.plos.org/plosntds/a…
