This paper investigates immune priming in the gut of Tribolium castaneum using RNA sequencing and transmission electron microscopy, showing that priming leads to gut damage, stress response, and gene upregulation that enhances protection against subsequent infection.

The paper investigates epigenetic regulation in the Colorado potato beetle, which lacks DNMT3, revealing that CpG methylation and H3K36me3 correlate with gene expression despite the absence of DNMT3.

The paper identifies MBD2/3 isoforms in holometabolous insects and finds that the long isoform, capable of methyl-CpG binding, is lost in multiple orders.
