A long non-coding RNA at the cortex locus controls adaptive colouration in butterflies

This study identifies a long non-coding RNA, ivory, at the cortex locus that controls adaptive colouration in butterflies by modulating pigmentation patterns through CRISPR mutagenesis.

A DNA condensation code for linker histones

This study develops an in-vitro model to investigate how linker histone C-terminal tails influence chromatin condensation states through charge density, lysine/arginine ratio, and proline-free regions.

Chromosome evolution in Lepidoptera

The paper analyzes 210 lepidopteran genomes to show that chromosome diversity arises from 32 ancestral linkage groups, with eight lineages undergoing extensive reorganization.
