The paper examines the evolutionary age of Drosophila seminal fluid proteins and finds that 62% of Sfp genes are ancient, with distinct functional and evolutionary properties compared to younger ones.

The paper compares gene expression divergence between male and female germlines in Drosophila species using single-nucleus RNA-seq, finding cell-type-specific patterns and X chromosome enrichment.

The paper investigates factors influencing transposable element dynamics in green anole genomes using empirical data and simulations, finding that recombination, demography, and TE properties interact to shape their frequencies and distributions.
