This study shows that transposable elements (TEs) in Drosophila melanogaster cause phenotypic variation and affect responses to environmental changes.

The paper examines 16 antimicrobial peptides in the cereal weevil and their roles in immune response and endosymbiosis.

The paper characterizes PA1b homologs in Middle Eastern legumes, finding structural conservation and diversification, and demonstrates their insecticidal activity.

ChimeraTE detects chimeric transcripts from genes and transposable elements using two modes, identifying ~1.12% of genes generating such transcripts, with ~23% absent from the reference genome.

The paper identifies stable reference genes for qRT-PCR in insect endosymbiotic models using transcriptomic data from Sitophilus oryzae.

The paper examines gene expression coordination between host and endosymbiont during the life cycle of the cereal weevil, identifying shared regulatory functions involved in symbiosis dynamics.

The paper presents the genome of Sitophilus oryzae, revealing high transposable element content and host-symbiont metabolic interactions.
