The paper analyzes telomere-specialized transposons across Drosophila species, revealing rapid evolution, convergent loss, horizontal transfer, and gene capture mechanisms.

The paper shows that adaptive protein coevolution within a telomere protection complex preserves telomere integrity by mitigating interspecies incompatibility caused by rapid evolution.

The paper shows that telomere length inheritance in mice depends on a parent-of-origin effect during early embryonic telomere elongation, with molecular signatures of the ALT pathway involved.

This study investigates phylogenomic discordance in Old World mice and rats, finding that genetic linkage and selection influence phylogenetic patterns and that assuming a single species tree can lead to errors in detecting positive selection.

The paper studies the evolution of protein interactions in the Drosophila piRNA pathway, revealing conserved and co-evolved interactions that support evolutionary adaptation.

This study investigates the evolutionary diversification of the Spartan gene family in Drosophila, finding recurrent duplication, divergence, and positive selection linked to DNA satellite dynamics.

This study identifies epigenetic factors underlying adaptive phenotypic plasticity in Drosophila melanogaster, showing genotype-dependent chromatin changes associated with diapause.
