This paper presents a chromosome-level genome assembly and transcriptomes for Megaselia abdita, revealing genomic and expression similarities and differences with Drosophila melanogaster.

The paper examines the anterior-posterior symmetry-breaking mechanism in Clogmia albipunctata, showing that its AD, maternal Cal-opa, promotes chromatin accessibility and anterior gene expression, similar to Drosophila's Bcd mechanism.

The paper investigates how minisatellite transposable elements contribute to population divergence in Chironomus riparius through differential activity and selection pressures.
