The paper shows that a foreign tandem repeat can induce heterochromatin formation in Drosophila, with temperature-dependent silencing and distinct biochemistry compared to canonical PEV.

The paper presents chromosome-level long-read genome assemblies for four Drosophila species with expanded F Elements, revealing significant variation in their sizes.

This study examines how genetic background and cell lineage influence position effect variegation in Drosophila, finding that genotype explains most differences in silencing levels and that cell lineage affects expression patterns.

G-OnRamp provides a web-based platform for collaborative genome annotation using UCSC Assembly Hubs and JBrowse/Apollo browsers with various evidence tracks.

The paper identifies core bioinformatics competencies needed for undergraduate life sciences education based on a national survey and syllabus analysis.
