This study shows that Blm helicase is essential for managing replication stress during early Drosophila development by facilitating replication through repetitive DNA sequences in syncytial cell cycles.

The paper estimates TE mutation rates in Daphnia magna genotypes and shows they vary widely, with gains outnumbering losses and correlating only with gene conversion rates.

The paper quantifies microsatellite mutation rates in Daphnia magna across genotypes and populations, finding high mutation rates and context-dependent variation.
