The paper shows that TE insertions in Drosophila suzukii modulate oxidative stress-responsive gene expression and increase oxidative stress sensitivity.

This study shows that transposable elements (TEs) in Drosophila melanogaster cause phenotypic variation and affect responses to environmental changes.

The paper uses DEST 2.0 to analyze genetic variation in D. melanogaster across continents and time, identifying adaptation patterns and stable spatial genetic structures.

The paper investigates the role of transposable elements in the sex gap of longevity across three Drosophila species, finding age-related TE expression and Y chromosome effects on male lifespan.

The paper investigates the association between transposable element expression and Y chromosome number in humans, suggesting a toxic Y effect on male longevity.

The paper develops a bioinformatics pipeline to integrate Drosophila melanogaster genomic data from diverse sources, creating a large dataset called DEST for population genetics analysis.

The paper investigates the association between mutations in kuzbanian and zinc stress phenotypes in Drosophila melanogaster, finding that overexpression increases tolerance while natural mutations have context-dependent effects.
