Influence of the male germline on B chromosome transmission in D. melanogaster

This study investigates how male germline factors influence B chromosome transmission in D. melanogaster, finding that drag occurs without fertility defects or asymmetric segregation.

Polycomb response elements reduce leaky expression of Cas9 under temperature-inducible Hsp70Bb promoter in Drosophila melanogaster

The paper shows Polycomb response elements reduce leaky Cas9 expression under a heat-inducible promoter in Drosophila, but further regulation is needed for precise control.

Regulation of nucleolar dominance in Drosophila melanogaster

This study characterizes nucleolar dominance in Drosophila melanogaster by analyzing rDNA locus activity during development using SNPs and chromosomal variations.

Transgenerational dynamics of rDNA copy number in Drosophila male germline stem cells

This study shows that rDNA copy number decreases with age in Drosophila male germline stem cells and is heritable but recoverable.
