The paper shows that TE insertions in Drosophila suzukii modulate oxidative stress-responsive gene expression and increase oxidative stress sensitivity.

This study shows that transposable elements (TEs) in Drosophila melanogaster cause phenotypic variation and affect responses to environmental changes.

The paper shows that sexual conflict and directional sexual selection, combined with phenotypic plasticity, maintain high phenotypic variation in male water striders.

The paper uses DEST 2.0 to analyze genetic variation in D. melanogaster across continents and time, identifying adaptation patterns and stable spatial genetic structures.

The paper investigates the role of transposable elements in the sex gap of longevity across three Drosophila species, finding age-related TE expression and Y chromosome effects on male lifespan.

This study uses long-read RNA-seq to identify and quantify transposable element transcripts at the copy level in Drosophila germline tissues, revealing differences in their transcriptional landscape between testes and ovaries.

This study investigates the role of transposable elements (TEs) in host shift-related genes of cactophilic Drosophila species, finding enrichment of TEs at promoter regions and their contribution to gene expression divergence.

This study quantifies the species-specific impact of transposable elements on gene expression and histone marks in Drosophila melanogaster and Drosophila simulans using transcriptomic and epigenomic data.

ChimeraTE detects chimeric transcripts from genes and transposable elements using two modes, identifying ~1.12% of genes generating such transcripts, with ~23% absent from the reference genome.

The paper investigates the association between transposable element expression and Y chromosome number in humans, suggesting a toxic Y effect on male longevity.

The paper presents the genome of Sitophilus oryzae, revealing high transposable element content and host-symbiont metabolic interactions.

The paper develops a bioinformatics pipeline to integrate Drosophila melanogaster genomic data from diverse sources, creating a large dataset called DEST for population genetics analysis.

The paper examines how invasive and non-invasive populations of D. suzukii respond to oxidative stress, finding differences in lifespan and gene expression that suggest rapid adaptation.

The paper identifies 92 outlier transposable element insertion loci showing differentiation between temperate and tropical Aedes albopictus populations, suggesting adaptive evolution in temperate environments.
