This study shows that genetic variation in the period gene affects daily and seasonal timing in Ostrinia nubilalis, with reduced per mRNA abundance linked to later activity and shorter diapause.

The paper introduces iLAM, an affordable imaging system for measuring locomotor activity in insects, and demonstrates its use in analyzing circadian rhythms across species and sexes.

The paper identifies transposable element-mediated rearrangements (TEMRs) in human genomes, showing they are enriched in genic regions and can create risk alleles.
