Gain or loss? Time to rethink how we describe gain-of-function mutations
Characterizing how mutations bring about phenotypic changes is a common strategy for identifying molecular underpinnings. A perspective article in GENETICS challenges the way researchers categorize mutations as gain-of-function and advises how to avoid misleading labeling.

Science & PublishingTools for the Fly community brought to you by the GSA Journals
The last two years have seen rapid growth in the resources available to the Drosophila community. Despite the mounting pressure on our colleagues at FlyBase due to reduced funding and recent policy changes, they continue to provide outsized value. In 2024, FlyBase released a thorough set of updates[1] ,1 and continued integration into The Alliance of…

Science & PublishingNew study suggests Elg1-RLC strays from the beaten path to safeguard replication stress
A new study in GENETICS reveals how the PCNA unloader Elg1-RLC protects replication forks during DNA damage, operating in a noncanonical pathway that safeguards genome stability when checkpoint signaling is compromised.

Science & PublishingThe great genetic swap: Rethinking essentiality in fruit fly reproduction
The word “essential” carries weight in genetics: lose the gene, lose the function. Luke Arnce, Jaclyn Bubnell, and Charles Aquadro challenge this intuition in a recent focused comparative study of germline stem-cell (GSC) biology across Drosophila species in G3:Genes|Genomes|Genetics. They tested the famed bag-of-marbles (bam) gene for its conserved function as a switch for daughter…
