This study identifies YIPPEE/YPEL5 as a conserved regulator of circadian rhythms by modulating PER/PER2 ubiquitination and stability, affecting circadian period length.

The paper identifies TIM phosphorylation sites in Drosophila and shows that CK2-dependent phosphorylation of TIM(S1404) regulates nuclear export and circadian rhythms, with implications for human FASPS.

The paper identifies two genetic pathways in silkworms that regulate olfactory-based sexual behaviors through specific pheromone perception genes.

This study identifies DOM splice variants DOM-A and DOM-B as regulators of circadian behavior and sLNv maintenance in Drosophila by modulating pacemaker gene expression and PDF accumulation.

This study identifies miR-210 as a regulator of evening circadian behavior in fruit flies by repressing Fasciclin 2.

This paper shows that Elav regulates alternative polyadenylation and splicing of Dscam1, which is essential for axon growth in Drosophila.

This study shows that dKDM2 is not essential for Drosophila viability but regulates circadian rhythms, with loss-of-function mutants showing arrhythmic behavior and overexpression causing shorter periods.

This study identifies miR-263b as a regulator of circadian rhythms in Drosophila by inhibiting Beadex expression, affecting structural plasticity of sLNv neurons.
