The paper develops a method to predict how mutations in transcription factors affect their DNA binding specificity using biophysically interpretable machine learning.

The paper shows that a Notch signaling center required for a new Drosophila genital structure evolved from a pre-existing role in genital disc eversion.

The paper shows Hox paralogs use different cofactors in distinct domains to activate specific gene regulatory networks in Drosophila legs.

The paper maps transcription factor expression in Drosophila melanogaster pupal terminalia using RNA-seq and in situ hybridization, revealing structured patterns and creating an online database for future research.

The paper presents an improved Aedes aegypti genome assembly, AaegL5, which enhances biological understanding and vector control efforts by resolving key genomic features and identifying new targets for intervention.
