The paper improves the SNS-seq protocol to better detect DNA replication origins and reduce non-origin biases in yeast.

The paper updates the fungus gnat genome assembly using Hi-C data to produce chromosome-scale scaffolds, improving contig ordering, orientation, and chromosome assignment.

The paper develops a transformation system for the fungus fly Sciara coprophila to enable genome editing and study its unique biological features.

This study identifies DNA repair pathway upregulation and developmental regulator downregulation in Sciara coprophila larvae exposed to ionizing radiation.

The paper presents the first draft genome of Sciara coprophila using long-read sequencing and assembly methods, enabling high contiguity genome assembly and insights into DNA modifications.

The paper studies postreplicative immature chromatin in Sciara coprophila, finding that a specific locus remains in an immature state for 24 hours after replication, facilitating transcriptional access.

The paper demonstrates progress in using the MinION sequencer to obtain multiple reads of ultra-long DNA molecules over 100kb.
