The paper analyzes piRNA cluster evolution in D. simulans using genome and piRNA data, finding rapid formation and loss of clusters and distinct transposon involvement compared to D. melanogaster.

The paper identifies genetic variants that confer tolerance to transposition in Drosophila by linking them to double-strand break repair and germline differentiation.

The paper develops an integrated resource to analyze small RNA profiles in mosquitoes, revealing evolutionary dynamics and host responses to viruses and transposons.

The paper quantifies transposable element landscapes in aging Drosophila and shows RNAi mechanisms buffer TE expansion despite increased TE expression.

The paper identifies a truncated P-element variant, Har-P, as the cause of severe gonadal dysgenesis in Drosophila when transmitted paternally, showing its susceptibility to piRNA repression.
