Meiotic recombination is a prominent force shaping genome evolution, and understanding why rates vary within between species has remained central, though challenging, question. Variation in widely thought to influence the efficacy of selection purging transposable elements (TEs), prevalent selfish genetic elements, leading observed negative correlations TE abundance across taxa. However, accumulating evidence suggests that TEs could instead be cause rather than consequence this relationship....

Abstract Circadian clocks respond to temperature changes over the calendar year, allowing organisms adjust their daily biological rhythms optimize health and fitness. In Drosophila , seasonal adaptations compensation are regulated by temperature-sensitive alternative splicing (AS) of period ( per ) timeless tim genes that encode key transcriptional repressors clock gene expression. Although clk encodes critical activator expression, AS its transcripts potential role in regulation function...
