The paper systematically maps the localization of 49 actin-binding proteins during C. elegans gastrulation to understand their roles in apical constriction.

This paper introduces a new genetic tool, NSEC, to improve genome engineering in C. elegans by enabling homozygous lines for essential genes before marker excision.

The paper shows that FGF diffusion is required for directed migration of C. elegans muscle progenitors, revealing FGF as a diffusible chemoattractant.

This study identifies FGF-dependent, polarized SOS activity as a mechanism for directing C. elegans muscle progenitor migration, independent of canonical RTK effectors.

The paper describes a collection of split-GAL4 driver lines for targeting specific neuron types in Drosophila, enabling functional and molecular studies.

This paper introduces a paintbrush method that significantly increases C. elegans microinjection efficiency by improving injection speed and survival rates.

The paper provides a searchable image resource of Drosophila GAL4-driver expression patterns at single neuron resolution to improve cell type identification and split-GAL4 combination prediction.

The paper introduces a modular genetic system that controls gene expression response time by adjusting protein degradation rates using tags with varying protease affinities.
