Over 2.8 million tissue-specific gene regulatory sequences are predicted for 33 insect genomes, using a simple computational workflow with only the genome sequence and a basic gene annotation as input.
Genetic, cellular, and molecular analyses reveal that the reduced abundance of total nascent transcripts that occurs after irradiation is largely due to the repression of histone and rRNA encoding genes.

A family of RNA binding proteins that diverged 200 million years ago have parallel roles in protecting the transcriptomic integrity of ultra-long exons within their respective cell types.
Many well-studied maternal developmental pathways that are required for embryonic development in Drosophila are regulated by the transcription factor OVO in the Drosophila female germline.
