P-body sequestration of clock transcripts delays repressor synthesis to set circadian period in Drosophila

Yangbo Xiao, Ye Yuan, Shrabastee Chakraborty, David Brooks, Swathi Yadlapalli

The paper identifies P-body sequestration of clock transcripts as a mechanism delaying repressor synthesis, which sets the circadian period in Drosophila.

An intron-based timer for circadian rhythms

Ye Yuan, Amanda Linskens, Rafael de Gouvea, Haokai Liu, Yangbo Xiao, Smriti Suresh, Irene Hu, Swathi Yadlapalli

The paper identifies an intron in the Drosophila timeless gene that acts as an RNA-based timer regulating circadian period length through nuclear retention of mRNA.

A one-step CRISPR-based strategy for endogenous gene tagging in Drosophila melanogaster

Yangbo Xiao, Ye Yuan, Swathi Yadlapalli

This paper describes a one-step CRISPR-based method for endogenous gene tagging in Drosophila melanogaster, enabling efficient screening and characterization of engineered lines without a visible eye marker.

Clock proteins regulate spatiotemporal organization of clock genes to control circadian rhythms

Yangbo Xiao, Ye Yuan, Mariana A. Jimenez, Neeraj Soni, Swathi Yadlapalli

This study shows clock proteins form dynamic nuclear foci that organize clock genes at the nuclear envelope to control circadian rhythms.
