The paper presents a chromosome-scale genome assembly and evaluates mtDNA variation in the willow leaf beetle Chrysomela aeneicollis, highlighting structural differences in mitochondrial genomes across a latitudinal gradient.

The paper maps H3K9me3-dependent heterochromatin formation in Drosophila miranda embryos, showing early nucleation at transposable elements and piRNA-mediated silencing.

The paper investigates how the Drosophila Y chromosome affects genome-wide heterochromatin integrity by analyzing histone modifications in different sex chromosome complements.

The paper presents a chromosome-level genome assembly of D. bifasciata, revealing a metacentric X chromosome and karyotypic transitions involving centromere fusions.

This paper introduces a method to estimate chromosome-wide recombination rates using marker selected pools and validates it with simulations and empirical data.

The paper shows that gene amplification on Drosophila Y chromosomes indicates recurrent meiotic drive, shaping sex chromosome evolution and genomic patterns.

The paper assembles the Drosophila miranda Y chromosome using long reads and chromatin conformation capture, revealing its expansion through repetitive sequences.

The paper examines alternative splicing patterns in Drosophila across sexes, developmental stages, and species, finding sex-specific and stage-specific splicing trends.

This study examines the evolutionary trajectory of neo-sex chromosomes in D. busckii, showing rapid Y degeneration and chromatin configuration constraints.
