The paper performs a comparative genomic analysis of Azospirillum genomes to identify a species complex and validate its biosafety and plant growth-promoting potential.

This study identifies epigenetic regulators in Rhipicephalus microplus and shows that DNA methylation inhibition affects mitochondrial function and cell proliferation during embryogenesis.

The paper develops new methods for analyzing gene expression in Aedes aegypti embryos and identifies differences in early genetic control compared to fruit flies.

This study shows that the smORF-containing gene mlpt is essential for moulting in Rhodnius prolixus and inhibits Trypanosoma cruzi metacyclogenesis, impacting Chagas disease transmission.

This study investigates the function of the polycistronic gene tal/pri/mlpt in the hemimetabolous insect Rhodnius prolixus, revealing its conserved role in embryonic segmentation and development.

This study shows that Fog signaling has multiple roles in epithelial morphogenesis across insects, including mesoderm internalization and gut development in Tribolium.

The paper assesses genetic diversity and population structure of two Amazonian quillwort species using ISSR markers to inform conservation strategies.

The paper analyzes the house spider genome to identify an ancient whole-genome duplication shared by spiders and scorpions, distinct from horseshoe crab duplications.
