This study evaluates how genomic insertion sites affect VSR activity in Drosophila using a transgenic reporter system and shows that gypsy retrovirus insulators can standardize silencing across loci.

This paper demonstrates a gene drive mitigation strategy using Repeat Mediated Excision of a Drive Element (ReMEDE) to replace drive alleles with wild-type alleles in Drosophila melanogaster.

This study shows EXD2 and WRN exonucleases are essential for ICL repair in Drosophila, with distinct genomic instability mechanisms in their mutants.
