Comparative transcriptome reprogramming in oak galls containing asexual or sexual generations of gall wasps (2024)
Journal Article
Bellows, E., Heatley, M., Shah, N., Archer, N., Giles, T., & Fray, R. (2024). Comparative transcriptome reprogramming in oak galls containing asexual or sexual generations of gall wasps. Plant Biology, https://doi.org/10.1111/plb.13670

Oak gall wasps have evolved strategies to manipulate the developmental pathways of their host to induce gall formation. This provides shelter and nutrients for the developing larva. Galls are entirely host tissue; however, the initiation, development... Read More about Comparative transcriptome reprogramming in oak galls containing asexual or sexual generations of gall wasps.

LINE-1 transcription in round spermatids is associated with accretion of 5-carboxylcytosine in their open reading frames (2021)
Journal Article
Blythe, M. J., Kocer, A., Rubio-Roldan, A., Giles, T., Abakir, A., Ialy-Radio, C., …Ruzov, A. (2021). LINE-1 transcription in round spermatids is associated with accretion of 5-carboxylcytosine in their open reading frames. Communications Biology, 4, Article 691. https://doi.org/10.1038/s42003-021-02217-8

Chromatin of male and female gametes undergoes a number of reprogramming events during the transition from germ cell to embryonic developmental programs. Although the rearrangement of DNA methylation patterns occurring in the zygote has been extensiv...

Evolution of gene expression levels in the male reproductive organs of Anopheles mosquitoes (2019)
Journal Article
Izquierdo, A., Fahrenberger, M., Persampieri, T., Benedict, M. Q., Giles, T., Catteruccia, F., …Dottorini, T. (2019). Evolution of gene expression levels in the male reproductive organs of Anopheles mosquitoes. Life Science Alliance, 2(1), Article e00191. https://doi.org/10.26508/lsa.201800191

Modifications in gene expression determine many of the phenotypic differentiations between closely related species. This is particularly evident in reproductive tissues, where evolution of genes is more rapid, facilitating the appearance of distinct...

The A2 gene of alcelaphine herpesvirus-1 is a transcriptional regulator affecting cytotoxicity in virus-infected T cells but is not required for malignant catarrhal fever induction in rabbits (2014)
Journal Article

Alcelaphine herpesvirus-1 (AlHV-1) causes malignant catarrhal fever (MCF). The A2 gene of AlHV-1 is a member of the bZIP transcription factor family. We wished to determine whether A2 is a virulence gene or not and whether it is involved in pathogene...
