This study investigates tandem repeat (TR) variation in stick insect genomes, finding TR enrichment in high-recombination regions and reduced loads in species with larger population sizes.

This study examines recombination, X inactivation, and centromere protein dynamics during male meiosis in stick insects, revealing unique patterns compared to Drosophila.

This study examines dosage compensation and meiotic sex chromosome inactivation in stick insects, finding that X chromosome expression is dynamically regulated in male tissues during development.

The paper analyzes centromere structure and function in stick insects, revealing a functionally monocentric system with holocentric-like features and chromosome-specific centromeres.

The paper examines how sexual selection influences sex-biased gene expression and genome architecture in water striders by analyzing genome and transcriptome data from males with exaggerated traits.

The paper reports the sequencing and manual annotation of the Gerris buenoi genome, identifying gene expansions linked to adaptations for aquatic life.

The paper identifies an ancestral developmental module involving micropeptides and transcription factors that regulates insect embryonic patterning, showing functional plasticity despite evolutionary divergence.

The paper assesses how mutations in the TDH3 promoter of Saccharomyces cerevisiae affect cell growth and predicts fitness consequences of these variants.
