The “AID Project”: Uncovering the Mysteries of Insect vasa Genes
Chun-Che Chang, a joint faculty member of NTU CDBRM, published an insightful paper in early December 2025. Through the AID (Aphid in Drosophila) Project, his group and collaborators (including Ming-Der Lin and others) uncovered novel roles of the duplicated vasa genes in aphids, which are serious agricultural pests. By expressing aphid genes in Drosophila melanogaster—one of the best-studied model organisms—the team revealed unexpected somatic functions of these duplicated aphid vasa genes, which had long been regarded as germline-specific in most insects. Chang believes that this study will shed new light on the evolutionary and developmental roles of insect germline genes.
