A role for DNA methylation in bumblebee morphogenesis hints at female-specific developmental erasure.

Benjamin J. Hunt, Mirko Pegoraro, Hollie Marshall, Eamonn B. Mallon

This study identifies DNA methylation changes during bumblebee development, suggesting sex-specific erasure in ovaries and enrichment in sperm, marking the first such finding in insects.

Photoperiod-dependent expression of MicroRNA in Drosophila

Mirko Pegoraro, Bettina Fishman, Valeria Zonato, George D. Zouganelis, Amanda E. Francis, Charalambos Panayiotis Kyriacou, Eran Tauber

This study identifies seven miRNAs differentially expressed in Drosophila under long and short photoperiods and shows their functional roles in photoperiodic timing.
