This study uses comparative single-cell transcriptomics to identify gene expression differences and their role in genital morphogenesis in two Drosophila species.

The paper investigates enhancer-promoter hub organization at the Drosophila shavenbaby locus, showing that multiple trans-regulators shape these hubs across different developmental contexts.

The paper shows how four distinct mechanisms inactivate redundant enhancers of the shavenbaby gene in Drosophila sechellia, leading to the loss of larval trichomes.

The paper investigates the relationship between regulatory information density and evolutionary constraint in non-coding DNA of Drosophila, finding that dense regulatory regions contribute significantly to constraint.

This study shows that H3K4me1 hypomethylation in Drosophila leads to context-dependent changes in morphology, metabolism, and behavior, suggesting it acts as a phenotypic capacitor.

This study identifies a gene regulatory network involving Prospero, D-Pax2, and Delilah that controls proprioceptor development in Drosophila by regulating the expression of Delilah through a specific enhancer.

The paper investigates enhancer pleiotropy in D. melanogaster, showing that multiple enhancers of the shavenbaby gene drive expression across tissues and developmental stages through distinct or shared transcription factor binding sites.
