Intricate interactions between antiviral immunity and transposable element control in Drosophila

This study shows that transposable elements (TEs) are involved in a dual response to Drosophila C Virus infection, where TE control is released and TE transcripts help reduce viral replication.

A major 6 Mb superlocus is involved in pyrethroid resistance in the common bed bug Cimex lectularius

The paper identifies a 6 Mb superlocus linked to pyrethroid resistance in bed bugs by comparing resistant and susceptible populations using genome-wide pool-seq.

Genomic Changes During the Evolution of the Coxiella Genus Along the Parasitism-Mutualism Continuum.

This study sequenced two new Coxiella-LE genomes and analyzed 43 Coxiellaceae genomes to explore genomic changes related to parasitism and mutualism in the Coxiella genus.

Targeting RNA:Protein Interactions with an Integrative Approach Leads tothe Identification of Potent YB-1 Inhibitors

The paper identifies potent YB-1 inhibitors using an integrative approach combining microtubule bench assay, NMR, and MD simulations.

Analyses of symbiotic bacterial communities in the plant pest Bemisia tabaci reveal high prevalence of Candidatus Hemipteriphilus asiaticus on the African continent

The paper identifies the high prevalence of Candidatus Hemipteriphilus asiaticus in Bemisia tabaci populations from Burkina Faso, revealing a new strain distinct from the Asian reference.

Wolbachia load variation in Drosophila is more likely caused by drift than by host genetic factors

This study investigates the factors regulating Wolbachia density in Drosophila, finding that drift, not host genetics, primarily drives variation in bacterial load and Octomom copy numbers.

Development of genetic markers for sexing Cannabis sativa seedlings

The paper develops genetic markers for early sexing of Cannabis sativa seedlings using Y-linked markers tested on hemp cultivars.

Drosophila suzukii oxidative stress response involves Jheh gene cluster but not transposable elements

The study examines oxidative stress responses in Drosophila suzukii, finding genotype variability linked to invasion status and confirming the role of the Jheh gene cluster while excluding transposable elements.

Experimental evolution of virulence and associated traits in a Drosophila melanogaster - Wolbachia symbiosis

The study evolves Drosophila melanogaster infected with Wolbachia wMelPop under high temperature and late reproduction conditions to test if virulence decreases, but finds no reduction in virulence or associated traits.
