Abstract: Longevity varies among individuals, but how natural genetic variation contributes to variation in lifespan is poorly understood. Drosophila melanogaster presents an advantageous model system to explore the genetic underpinnings of longevity, since its generation time… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/molbev/msab336
Abstract: Abstract Transposable elements (TEs) are self-replicating “genetic parasites” ubiquitous to eukaryotic genomes. In addition to conflict between TEs and their host genomes, TEs of the same family are in competition with each other. They compete… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pgen.1009790
Abstract: Recent studies have demonstrated that astrocytes cooperate with neurons of the brain to mediate circadian control of many rhythmic processes including locomotor activity and sleep. Transcriptional profiling studies have described the overall rhythmic landscape of… read more here.
