The paper identifies 81 taxa in the Venice Lagoon using morphological and molecular methods, finding non-indigenous Sporobolus anglicus more prevalent than native S. maritimus.

This study compares the heatwave resilience of native and non-indigenous Sporobolus species in salt marshes, finding the non-indigenous species more resilient.

This study shows that RNase H1 reduces DNA damage and improves SMA-like symptoms in a Drosophila model by resolving RNA:DNA hybrids caused by SMN deficiency.

This study shows miR-210 is essential for retinal homeostasis in fruit flies and mice, with distinct mechanisms in each species.

The paper shows that low-dose rate γ-irradiation reduces chromosome breaks and telomere fusions in Drosophila by modulating Loquacious expression.

This study shows TGS1 is essential for snRNA 3' end processing and its loss causes neurodegeneration, which can be mitigated by human TGS1 expression in model organisms.
