Rapid promoter evolution of male accessory gland genes is accompanied by divergent expression in closely related Drosophila species Abstract. Seminal fluid proteins (Sfps) are essential for reproductive success and evolve fast on average, possibly driven by post-copulatory sexual select

Females are larger than males. How? Here is one solution- they have MORE nuclei in their flight muscles and grow LARGER heart and fat body cells with MORE ribosomal mRNAs. Fun collaboration of @jeromeavellaneda.bsky.social with @soumitrakp.bsky.social & Brian Oliver www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Venerose: a nuptial gift with implications

Male quality assessment: Venerose seminal fluid sugar sensed by female brain neurons after mating. See our comment thanks to @deepanshund.bsky.social about an exiting story from the Young-Joon Kim lab.

N-6-methyladenosine (m6A) Promotes the Nuclear Retention of mRNAs with Intact 5' Splice Site Motifs In humans, misprocessed mRNAs containing intact 5β€² Splice Site (5β€²SS) motifs are nuclear retained and targeted for decay by ZFC3H1, a component of the Poly(A) Exosome Targeting complex, and U1-70K, a ...
