The Tudor domain protein Tapas, a homolog of the vertebrate Tdrd7, functions in the piRNA pathway to regulate retrotransposons in germline of Drosophila melanogaster by Patil, Veena S., Anand, Amit, Chakrabarti, Alisha, Kai, Toshie

“…We further observed that loss of tej and tap together results in more severe defects in the piRNA pathway in germline cells compared to single mutants: the double-mutant ovaries exhibit mis-localization of piRNA pathway components and significantly greater reduction of piRNAs against transposons predominantly expressed in germline compared to single mutants. …”

Advanced code reuse attacks against modern defences by Wang, Chenyu

“…The result shows that in addition to the cases that have been discovered in previous work, our tool is able to find more cases of non-blinded constant. We find that array offset, object field, global variable and even number of statements in script can be used to emit non-blinded constant in JIT code.…”
