The paper identifies neuronal stop-codon readthrough in Drosophila, showing it produces C-terminal extensions that alter protein localization.

The paper uses optogenetic stimulation and Ribo-seq in Drosophila to show that neuronal activity triggers two phases of translation: one for synaptic factors and another for ribosomal proteins, regulated by TOP motifs and La-related protein.

The paper examines how monoaminergic genetic variation, cortical structure, and trauma interact to influence emotional vulnerability using a large cohort dataset.

The paper evaluates the neutrality of amino acid homorepeats in yeast, finding hydrophobic repeats are harmful while hydrophilic repeats suppress proteotoxic stress and define compatible sequence space.

This study constructs a haplotype-phased genome assembly for Haliotis gigantea and identifies non-syntenic homologous chromosomes with structural variations that may contribute to functional diversification.

The paper analyzes conserved noncoding elements in Caenorhabditis inopinata to identify evolutionary changes linked to its distinct morphological and behavioral traits.

This study introduces highly regenerative species-specific genes into Drosophila to improve stem cell function and extend lifespan by enhancing gut barrier functions during aging.

The paper identifies compensated gene interactions in yeast using noise-only changes from scRNA-seq, showing enrichment in redundantly regulated genes and novel downstream transport genes.
