Maternally transmitted symbionts such as Wolbachia can alter sex allocation in haplodiploid arthropods. By biasing population sex ratios towards females, these changes in sex allocation may facilitate the spread of symbionts. In contrast to symbiont-induced cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI), the mechanisms that underpin sex allocation distortion remain poorly understood.

- SRSF1 is a protein that plays a crucial role in mRNA processing and is essential for proper brain development; its complete loss is fatal during embryonic stages in mice.
- Researchers identified 17 individuals with neurodevelopmental disorders (NDD) who have specific genetic changes in the SRSF1 gene, which lead to developmental delays, intellectual disability, and other health issues.
- Advanced analysis techniques demonstrated that most genetic variants linked to SRSF1 result in a loss of its function, causing syndromic NDD due to impaired splicing activity.
