Evidence for Transcription and Horizontal Gene Transfer in Dipteran Germline-Restricted Chromosomes

Riccardo G. Kyriacou, Marion Herbette, Robert B Baird…·Christina N. Hodson

The paper provides the first direct evidence of transcription from germline-restricted chromosomes (GRCs) in fungus gnats, identifying expressed genes and a horizontally acquired bacterial region.

GC content across insect genomes: phylogenetic patterns, causes and consequences

Riccardo G. Kyriacou, Peter O. Mulhair, Peter W. H. Holland

The paper analyzes GC content variation across 150 insect species, finding higher GC in protein-coding regions and Lepidoptera, with evidence of GC-biased gene conversion.
