The paper identifies long-range chromatin interactions of the PRE-PIK3C2B region using 4C-Seq and validates them with 3C-PCR, showing enrichment of repressive marks and association with LINE/SINE repeats.

This paper analyzes the genome and transcriptome of Maconellicoccus hirsutus to study genomic imprinting and its relation to sex determination and pesticide resistance.

This study identifies DNA sequences that dIno80 binds with high specificity and shows this interaction positively regulates transcription.

This paper shows dIno80 interacts with PREs in Drosophila and can rescue pho mutant lethality, suggesting it functions in cellular memory through non-canonical complexes.

The paper compares histone methyltransferases and demethylases across insect genomes to identify conserved and divergent features, finding copy number variation and domain conservation.
