The paper investigates the role of cap-adjacent 2'-O-ribose methylation (cOMe) in C. elegans, showing it protects transcripts from decapping exonuclease EOL-1 and is essential for growth and germline development.

This study shows that reducing Dscam expression enhances memory retention in honey bees and alters its alternative splicing during memory consolidation.

The paper develops PlatinumCRISPr, a tool for selecting efficient sgRNAs for CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing, identifies design constraints, and reports unintended DNA insertions from deletions.

This study identifies CMTr1 and CMTr2 as cap-adjacent 2'-O-ribose methyltransferases essential for reward learning and synaptic mRNA localization in Drosophila.

The paper identifies a splicing program in neurons of Drosophila and mammals, showing how it evolves independently in different species to regulate ion channels and neuronal activity.

This study identifies Nup54's role in Drosophila female reproductive behaviors by linking it to neuronal wiring and sexual differentiation in response to male sex-peptide.

This study shows that ELAV, a single elav gene in honey bees, is dynamically expressed and required for learning and memory through alternative splicing and subcellular localization changes.

The paper identifies Srrm234 as a key regulator of Dscam exon 9 alternative splicing, showing that canonical SR and hnRNP proteins have minimal impact on this process.
