Russian wheat aphid: a model for genomic plasticity and a challenge to breeders
Insect Science, EarlyView.Invasive foundress finds suitable habitat and reproduces through pathogenesis. Wingless females produce life offspring quickly, which leads to high population densities. High population densities result in competition, which may induce epigenetic changes and wing development for dispersal.

Insect Science, EarlyView.Abstract The sterile insect technique (SIT) is a highly effective biologically‐based method for the suppression of many insect pest populations. SIT efficacy could be improved by methods of male sterilization that avoid the use of irradiation that can result in diminished fitness and mating competitiveness.

Insect Science, EarlyView.Two spontaneous mutations in pupae of the West Indian fruit fly Anastrepha obliqua, named bp and sp, were isolated and studied. The bp mutation was selected, and using two types of Y‐autosoma l translocation inducers and an appropriate crossing scheme, two genetically sexed strains based on pupa l color were developed for the first time in this species,

Chromosome‐scale genome assembly of the South American fruit fly, Anastrepha fraterculus sp.1
Insect Science, EarlyView.Anastrepha fraterculus sp. 1 is a major fruit fly pest in Argentina, currently controlled through chemical treatments and traps. This study aims to enhance the genomic understanding of this species to support the development of sterile insect technique as well as the use of innovative technologies.

Neoclassical development of genetic sexing strains for insect pest and disease vector control
Insect Science, EarlyView.The sterile insect technique has been effectively used for decades, and an important component is the availability of sex separation systems, in particular genetic sexing strains. Classical approaches, such as irradiation‐induced chromosomal translocations, have yielded stable strains for species like the Mediterranean fruit fly.

Epidemiology of hypospadias in China: A nationwide surveillance‐based study, 2010–2020
Andrology, EarlyView.Abstract Background The prevalence of hypospadias varied internationally. However, epidemiological data on hypospadias in contemporary China remain limited. Objectives We aim to examine the epidemiological characteristics of hypospadias in Chinese population.

Optical genome mapping detects cryptic high‐risk and targetable abnormalities in adult AML
British Journal of Haematology, EarlyView.Summary Acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) risk stratification relies on cytogenetic and molecular abnormalities defined by European LeukemiaNet (ELN) 2022. Conventional cytogenetic techniques, including chromosomal banding analysis (CBA) and fluorescence in situ hybridization, have limited resolution and may miss cryptic events. Optical genome mapping (OGM)
