The paper identifies socially regulated genes in ants that show increased 3D chromatin contacts with enhancers, suggesting pre-existing connectivity supports brain plasticity during caste transition.

The paper identifies pseudouridine as a key modification enabling RNA extracellular transport and identifies MYL6 as a binding protein required for this process.

The paper introduces RBR-scan, a method to identify RNA-binding mutants by measuring affinity of protein variants, and validates it with known and novel mutants in SRSF2.
