This study shows that ORC interacts with HP1a via specific motifs to regulate heterochromatin structure and function in Drosophila.

This study identifies odorant receptors in Drosophila that detect toxic mustard oils, showing that herbivorous relatives have expanded and adapted these receptors for hostplant recognition.

This study identifies alternative splicing of TRPA1 as a key mechanism driving reduced electrophile sensitivity in S. flava, enabling adaptation to toxic Brassicales plants.

This study shows that pericentromeric hypomethylation in zebrafish triggers an interferon response, linking it to ICF syndrome-like phenotypes.
