The tremendous rate with which data is generated and analysis methods emerge makes it
increasingly difficult to keep track of their domain of applicability, assumptions, limitations …

Insects display an immense diversity in melanin pigmentation, which is generated by the
interplay between the regulatory genes (that provide general patterning information) and …

Background Understanding genome organization and evolution is important for species
involved in transmission of human diseases, such as mosquitoes. Anophelinae and …

Background Most of the known genes required for developmental processes have been
identified by genetic screens in a few well-studied model organisms, which have been …

Because chromatin determines whether information encoded in DNA is accessible to
transcription factors, dynamic chromatin states in development may constrain how gene …

Animals from all major clades have evolved a segmented trunk, reflected in the human spine
or the insect segments. These units emerge during embryogenesis from a posterior segment …

Background Gene co-expression networks (GCNs) are not easily comparable due to their
complex structure. In this paper, we propose a tool, Juxtapose, together with similarity …

Background Mosquito borne viruses, such as dengue, Zika, yellow fever and Chikungunya,
cause millions of infections every year. These viruses are mostly transmitted by two urban …

Alternative splicing (AS) is an essential post-transcriptional regulatory mechanism and
enables the generation of structurally variable transcripts from a single gene (Verta and …

The yellow fever mosquito Aedes aegypti is a major disease vector and an increasingly
popular emerging model research organism. We present here an improved protocol for the …
