The paper identifies hundreds of Drosophila chromatin insulator elements dependent on Cp190 and CTCF by analyzing genomic contacts, transcriptomes, and protein binding in deficient cells.

This paper humanizes the Drosophila Gαo gene to create a model for GNAO1-related paediatric encephalopathies, enabling functional studies of disease-causing mutations.

This study identifies the domains of Ash1 required to counteract Polycomb repression in Drosophila, showing that the BAH, PHD, and SET domains are essential while AT hooks are not.
