A new paper just published in Nature by Nikos Konstantinides! Congratulations to all the authors   A complete temporal transcription factor series in the fly visual system   Abstract The brain consists of thousands of neuronal types that are generated by stem cells producing different neuronal types as they age. In Drosophila, this temporal patterning is driven by the successive expression…

Congratulations to Roshan Kumar Vijendravarma (Courtier Lab) for this new article published with Pierre Leopold (Institut Curie) in Ecology and Evolution: Non-visual cues and indirect strategies that enable discrimination of asymmetric mates   Abstract The postulates of developmental instability–sexual selection hypothesis is intensely debated among evolutionary biologists, wherein despite a large amount of empirical data, evidence for…

A new paper just published by Duharcourt Team in Genome Research! GC content, but not nucleosome positioning, directly contributes to intron splicing efficiency in Paramecium   Abstract Eukaryotic genes are interrupted by introns that must be accurately spliced from mRNA precursors. With an average length of 25 nt, the more than 90,000 introns of Paramecium tetraurelia stand among the…
