Nature Genetics - Pierre Chambon (1931–2026)

Six doctoral-level scientists will serve two-year appointments across New York State government to support evidence-based policymaking.

Croll lab at University of Neuchatel. The lab of Daniel Croll wants to understand how pathogens evolve to cause disease. For this, we mainly focus on major crop pathogens to unravel mechanisms of rapi...

The rat tapeworm, Hymenolepis diminuta , is an important laboratory model for uncovering molecular processes that underly the success of tapeworms as parasites. Despite its importance, a high-quality ...

We believe Brexit's not working. The OBR judges that the UK economy is smaller and trade is weaker because of Brexit, and it will just get worse. 10 years after the Brexit vote, let's apply to rejoin ...

How host organisms adapt their defense systems to newly invading transposable elements remains poorly understood. Here, we show how Drosophila melanogaster acquired PIWI-interacting RNA (piRNA)-mediat...

The repeated evolution of similar phenotypes, or convergent evolution, is widespread in nature, but there are few studies investigating the genetic mechanisms across wide evolutionary timescales. This...

Abstract. Transposable elements (TEs) are found in nearly all eukaryotic genomes. Despite significant advances in the sequencing of genomes, TE resources r

Modern stock management for Drosophila research labs. Track stocks, plan crosses, import from FlyBase, print labels, and collaborate across institutions.

Personal reflections on a legendary scientist, leader, builder, and mentor

This year’s award recipients bring to the table expertise and leadership that have shaped, and will shape, science for years to come.

David was a beloved husband, father, brother, scientist, teacher, mentor, musician, friend, who touched the lives of thousands. David’s wide-ranging scientific career spanned decades with a legacy o…

Evolutionarily related ‘proto-point’ centromeres providing resolution to the evolutionary origins of point centromeres are identified in yeast, and comparison shows they evolved in an ancestor with re...

Background The role of transposable elements (TEs) in host adaptation has gained interest in recent years. Individuals of the same species undergo independent TE insertions, providing genetic variabil...
