The paper examines sex chromosome evolution in house flies, finding both canonical and non-canonical divergence patterns despite shared genomic context.

The paper analyzes telomere-specialized transposons across Drosophila species, revealing rapid evolution, convergent loss, horizontal transfer, and gene capture mechanisms.

The paper characterizes the Ilp4 ortholog in D. eugracilis as part of a study on IIS pathway evolution across Drosophila species.

This study shows that KAT2A and KAT2B prevent dsRNA accumulation and interferon signaling, which is critical for maintaining intestinal stem cells in mice.

The paper presents chromosome-level long-read genome assemblies for four Drosophila species with expanded F Elements, revealing significant variation in their sizes.

The paper shows that Tf2 retrotransposons in fission yeast provide a fitness benefit by modulating the host's transcriptional response to metabolic stress.

The paper identifies a burst of transposon expression in early spermatocytes during Drosophila spermatogenesis, linked to Y chromosome fertility gene activation and reduced piRNA pathway activity.

The paper shows TART-A transposon captures nxf2 sequence to target it for piRNA-mediated repression, revealing antagonistic co-evolution with the host.

The paper examines 3D genome evolution in Drosophila species by comparing TAD structures between D. melanogaster and D. triauraria, finding that TAD boundaries are conserved but domains are not.
