This study identifies and characterizes piRNAs in the early embryo of Parhyale hawaiensis, showing their abundance early in development and subsequent reduction after germ cell specification.

This study shows that miR-9a regulates rhomboid mRNA and protein levels in Drosophila embryos by promoting mRNA degradation and inhibiting translation.

The paper sequenced microRNAs and mRNAs in Parhyale hawaiensis during embryonic development, identifying new microRNA loci and showing distinct expression dynamics during the maternal-zygotic transition.

The paper adapts smiFISH to arthropod embryos for multi-gene RNA quantification and introduces new variability measures for single-cell expression analysis.

The paper visualizes the co-expression of mir-9a and Senseless during Drosophila PNS development, revealing dynamic regulatory relationships that differ between embryonic and larval stages.

The paper analyzes the house spider genome to identify an ancient whole-genome duplication shared by spiders and scorpions, distinct from horseshoe crab duplications.

This study identifies a long noncoding RNA, lincX, from the Antennapedia Complex in Drosophila that facilitates Hox gene expression through transvection and chromosomal proximity.
