This study identifies biallelic UQCC1 variants as a cause of early-onset mitochondrial disease by impairing complex III assembly and function.

The paper sequenced 25 Drosophila S2 cell sub-lines to show ongoing transposition and use TE insertions for phylogenetic reconstruction in cell culture.

This study investigates caspase cleavage of Drosophila Sgg-PD proteoforms, revealing their role in cytoskeletal and cell junction regulation and unexpected retention of cleaved N-terminal domains.

The paper characterizes protein isoforms of the Drosophila sgg gene, revealing distinct localization, interactions, and functions for different proteoforms during development.

The paper analyzes P element insertions in Drosophila melanogaster populations to understand variation in gonadal dysgenesis phenotypes and shows that insertion numbers do not strongly correlate with phenotype severity.

McClintock is a pipeline that integrates multiple TE detection methods to evaluate their performance on simulated and real yeast genomes, showing that combining methods improves detection of non-reference TEs.
