This study investigates ZAD-ZnF transcription factors in Drosophila, showing they form nuclear condensates and interact with insulator proteins, highlighting their role in development and genome organization.

This study identifies Mulberry as a looping factor in Drosophila embryos that shapes genome organization through nuclear condensates and long-range regulatory interactions.

This study uses live-imaging in Drosophila to show that enhancer transcription suppresses gene transcriptional bursting and affects transcription hub formation during development.

The paper identifies torimochi as an active, expanding retrotransposon in silkworm cells that produces piRNAs and may function as a dynamic piRNA cluster.

This paper shows that C. elegans chemosensory neuron ASEL mediates opposing learned chemotactic responses to glucose and salt, regulated by kinase-phosphatase signaling.
