A dual histone code specifies the binding of heterochromatin protein Rhino to a subset of piRNA source loci

Abdou Akkouche, Emma Kneuss, Susanne Bornelöv…·Gregory J. Hannon

The paper identifies a dual histone modification (H3K9me3 and H3K27me3) that specifies Rhino binding to a subset of piRNA source loci in Drosophila germ cells, independent of Kipferl.

Reactivation of an errantivirus in Drosophila ovarian somatic tissue: from germline invasion to taming

Marianne Yoth, Stéphanie Maupetit‐Mehouas, Abdou Akkouche…·Émilie Brasset

This study reactivates an errantivirus in Drosophila somatic cells, showing it can invade oocytes and trigger a germline immune response.
