Este artigo apresenta um estudo de caso, em andamento, sobre os imaginários que emergem da circulação de boatos sobre fraude eleitoral, bem como as disputas de sentido que engendram. A partir da análise de microtextos publicados no Twitter, localizamos elementos que ajudam a conferir verossimilhança aos boatos, entre eles, fragmentos míticos e fórmulas arquetípicas. A discussão teórica tem base nas teses de Jung e Durand, em diálogo com pesquisadores da Comunicação e da História.

The Roma people are the largest transnational ethnic minority in Europe and can be considered the last human migration of South Asian origin into the continent. They left Northwest India approximately 1,000 years ago, reaching the Balkan Peninsula around the twelfth century and Romania in the fourteenth century. Here, we analyze whole-genome sequencing data of 40 Roma and 40 non-Roma individuals from Romania. We performed a genome-wide scan of selection comparing Roma, their local host population, and a Northwestern Indian population, to identify the selective pressures faced by the Roma mainly after they settled in Europe. We identify under recent selection several pathways implicated in immune responses, among them cellular metabolism pathways known to be rewired after immune stimulation. We validated the interaction between PIK3-mTOR-HIF-1α and cytokine response influenced by bacterial and fungal infections. Our results point to a significant role of these pathways for host defense against the most prevalent pathogens in Europe during the last millennium. ; Tis study has been funded by a Spinoza grant of the Netherlands Organization for Scientifc Research (MN), and by BFU2016-77961-P (JB and EBo), PID2019-110933GB-I00 (JB and EBo) and CGL2016-75389-P (DC) (AEI/ FEDER, UE) awarded by the Agencia Estatal de Investigación, CEX2018-000792-M, Unidad de Excelencia María de Maeztu (JB, DC and EBo), and GRC 2017 SGR 702 of Secretaria d'Universitats i Recerca de la Generalitat de Catalunya (JB, EBo and DC).
