Short #Jingmenvirus primer - medium thread.
Jingmenvirus is a recently identified group of segmented RNA viruses that are phylogenetically linked to unsegmented flaviviruses. They appear to infect a wide range of animal hosts, including humans.
Jingmenvirus is a recently identified group of segmented RNA viruses that are phylogenetically linked to unsegmented flaviviruses. They appear to infect a wide range of animal hosts, including humans.
Jingmenviruses (JMVs) contain two #flavivirus-related segments, as well as additional segments of unknown origin. It is thought that JMVs evolved from unsegmented flaviviruses.

The evolutionary significance of this shift to a segmented genome is unclear, but comparative studies of JMVs and flaviviruses may illuminating.

.@AnnTarrant2: Hello! Thanks for joining me on this #ReadAlong with @BiolBulletin. My name is Ann Tarrant, and my lab (www2.whoi.edu/site/tarrantla…) studies how marine invertebrates detect and respond to environmental signals and stressors. (2/n)
I'm a Senior Scientist at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (@WHOI) and the (newly-minted) Associate Dean of Academic Programs. Ask me if you have questions about our educational programs! (3/n)
Here's a thread on how I make scientific illustrations for describing new species of invertebrates #sciencetwitter #art #science #illustration #taxonomy #teaminvert
My favorite way to learn a new group of inverts is to describe & draw a new species. You have to do all this research on known species so you learn a lot. Then you do detailed drawings that ensure you learn each structure. Hard to forget something you spent hours drawing
The end result is a series of drawings like this that show important anatomical structures that are used to identify different species #draw #science #art #scienceillustration
