The paper identifies a noncanonical retrotransposon transmission mechanism in Drosophila that bypasses the need for viral envelope proteins.

The paper shows that antisense transposon insertions into host genes trigger piRNA-mediated immunity in Drosophila by generating chimeric transcripts that initiate silencing.

This study uses cryo-ET to visualize copia retrotransposon structure in Drosophila cells, revealing nuclear clustering and size selection during gametogenesis.

Pannagram identifies mobile element families across insect pangenomes, revealing horizontal transfer of polintons and transposons beyond traditional TE models.

This study identifies Emp as a key regulator of apical membrane morphogenesis in Drosophila airways by mediating endocytosis of luminal cargo proteins.

This paper develops a genetic toolkit for studying piRNA biology in Drosophila melanogaster ovaries using transgenic RNAi and reporter systems.

The paper investigates TCR in Drosophila melanogaster and finds it remains active even without the MMR gene spel1, with TCR signatures detected in introns but not exons.

This study examines how neuronal function and dopamine signaling adapt to high temperatures in Drosophila through laboratory evolution experiments.
