Global analyses using aneuploid Drosophila revealed the dynamic roles of RNA m6A modification in regulating gene expression and development under genomic imbalance, highlighting its potential relationships with dosage-related effects.
An eco-evolutionary model shows that heterozygote advantage can maintain over 100 major histocompatibility complex alleles, providing a potent explanation for extraordinary immune gene diversity and challenges previous models that predicted limited allele coexistence.
Variants in FGF13, associated with developmental and epileptic encephalopathies, alter neuronal excitability by affecting inhibitory neurons and by a sodium channel-independent mechanism.
Genome dilution limits cell growth by modulating the activities, rather than the concentrations, of RNA polymerases and ribosomes, and is accompanied by changes in proteome composition.
N‑terminus of MSL1 protein, involved in dosage compensation in Drosophila, is required for the interaction with non-coding roX2 RNA and the assembly of the complex on the male X chromosome.

Biochemical detection of endogenous, paralog-specific DVL2 complexes, molecular characterization of underlying protein domains and functional evidence for their importance extend the knowledge of Wnt pathway regulation through DVL2 biomolecular condensates.
