The paper identifies ribosomal DNA arrays as the most H-DNA rich element in the human genome using the T2T assembly, showing 42.65-fold enrichment compared to chance.

Quadrupia identifies and characterizes G-quadruplex sequences across 108,449 genomes, revealing taxonomic patterns and experimentally validating key structures.

kmerDB provides a database of genomic and proteomic sequence information, including kmers, quasi-primes, and primes, for 45,785 genomes and 22,386 proteomes.

The paper develops an iterative ATAC-seq approach to refine transgene expression in specific neuronal subtypes in Drosophila.

The paper calculates the rarity of short nucleic and peptide sequences across genomes and proteomes, finds dipeptide rarity in peptides but not dinucleotides, and develops predictive models for sequence frequency.

This paper develops an optimized ATAC-seq protocol for adult Drosophila neurons, enabling high-quality chromatin accessibility studies in this model organism.

The paper introduces the FLEA assay to measure incentive motivation in Drosophila by using electric shock as an aversive stimulus, revealing a novel role for neuropeptide F in processing electroshock.
