This study investigates how social experience alters transcriptional and chromatin states in Drosophila brains through pheromone circuits and transcription factors.

This paper develops an evolutionary model to evaluate extinction therapy strategies for cancer, showing it outperforms combination therapy when cross-resistance exists.

This study uses genomic data to show that climate and sea-level changes drove lineage diversification in Venus flytraps, with population declines linked to historical climate optima and human impacts.

The paper shows that Streptomyces enrichment in roots during drought is not linked to plant benefits and is instead driven by host suppression of iron uptake and immunity.

The paper identifies an efflux pump family in plant commensal bacteria that detoxifies host-specific glucosinolates, enabling host- and organ-specific colonization.

The paper shows that group housing in Drosophila suppresses courtship by altering the Fruitless pathway and circadian state, with specific effects on gene expression and behavior.

The paper identifies 29 genes regulating testis morphogenesis through a reverse-genetic screen in Drosophila, revealing roles for dPix and its partners in collective cell migration and organ shaping.

The paper presents a highly contiguous genome assembly of Drosophila prolongata, enabling genomic analyses for studying sexual dimorphism and male-specific traits.

The paper identifies molecular mechanisms by which social experience and pheromone signaling modulate neuromodulatory gene expression in Drosophila sensory neurons through RNA-seq analysis.

The paper introduces ptGAUL, a pipeline for assembling plastomes from long-read data, showing it produces accurate assemblies and revealing long repeats and rearrangements in Juncus plastomes.

The paper assesses barriers to horizontal gene transfer by analyzing transferability data from 74 prokaryotic genomes, showing that gene connectivity and divergence affect transferability, supporting both the Balance and Complexity Hypotheses.

The paper shows that DIPs and Dprs control the organization of olfactory receptor neuron terminals in Drosophila by mediating class-specific self-adhesion and axon sorting.
