The paper investigates the role of the Drosophila maternal-effect gene ao in histone gene repression and finds that ao does not repress histone gene expression.

The paper shows that the Drosophila transcription factor CLAMP uses both cis element and local sequence information to perform context-specific functions at different genomic loci.

The paper identifies new Hox and chromatin remodeling factors interacting with the Drosophila histone gene array using a ChIP dataset screen.

The paper investigates whether Max is part of the Drosophila histone locus body and concludes it is not based on ChIP-seq and ChIP-nexus data.

This study shows that mutations in Drosophila tRNA processing factors cause phenotypes similar to human Pontocerebellar Hypoplasia, including reduced brain size and motor dysfunction.

This study reconstitutes the human tRNA splicing endonuclease complex and shows that CLP1 is not required for tRNA intron cleavage but may regulate tRNA splicing as a negative modulator.

The paper identifies cis- and trans-acting factors involved in tricRNA biogenesis in Drosophila and human cells.

The paper identifies CG2941 as a Gemin4 ortholog in Drosophila melanogaster and shows its essential role in organismal viability.
