PeakLocus assigns RNA features to transcript intervals with high accuracy, outperforming existing tools in benchmark tests across multiple species.

The paper identifies 648 recent transposable element horizontal transfers in Drosophila using 400 dipteran genomes, revealing patterns of transfer frequency and phylogenetic distance.

This study uses simulations to show that transposable element insertion bias into piRNA clusters can alter invasion dynamics but is generally not beneficial for TE spread, with limited scenarios where it might be advantageous.
