The paper identifies CCA2 enzymes in Asgard archaea and Heimdallarchaeia, challenging the evolutionary separation between archaeal and eukaryotic CCA-adding enzymes and supporting bacterial gene integration prior to eukaryogenesis.

The paper investigates epigenetic regulation in the Colorado potato beetle, which lacks DNMT3, revealing that CpG methylation and H3K36me3 correlate with gene expression despite the absence of DNMT3.

The paper identifies multiple TR gene copies in Andrena bees that generate diverse telomeric repeats, showing TR gene duplication drives telomere sequence diversity in insects.

The paper identifies MBD2/3 isoforms in holometabolous insects and finds that the long isoform, capable of methyl-CpG binding, is lost in multiple orders.

The paper analyzes protein domain distributions across eukaryotes to identify evolutionary patterns and finds widespread avoidance of certain domains associated with specific gene ontology terms.

The paper reviews methods to represent regulatory feedback in cellular processes and discusses their implications for synthetic biology.
