The paper develops a novel method to map the interphase genome of Drosophila melanogaster by integrating bioinformatic and experimental techniques to analyze gene and protein localization in polytene chromosomes.

The paper shows Rif1 promotes underreplication in Drosophila polyploid cells through both upstream and downstream roles relative to SUUR in controlling replication timing.

This study identifies stable miRNA expression markers in three tissues for use as reference genes in qPCR analysis of miRNA expression in cancer.

This study identifies two regions in Pita that interact with CP190 and shows that this interaction is critical for Pita's enhancer blocking activity but not required for its chromatin binding.
