The paper finds that nose-to-ground distance correlates with the number of functional odorant receptor genes in mammals, suggesting olfactory environment complexity drives OR repertoire evolution.

This paper develops a semi-automated pipeline for extracting metadata from insect specimen labels using computer vision and OCR, achieving 98% accuracy in printed label extraction.

The paper develops genetic tools to specifically target claustrum neurons in mice, enabling more precise functional studies.

The paper investigates how olfactory sensory neurons adapt transcriptionally to GPCR identity and activity, finding that receptor-specific transcriptomic profiles change with odorant exposure.

The paper identifies sustentacular cells in the human olfactory neuroepithelium as expressing ACE2 and TMPRSS2, suggesting they may serve as entry points for SARS-CoV-2.

PSGfinder identifies genes under divergent positive selection using the Dynamic Windows method, enabling rapid genome-wide analysis of regions with dN/dS >1.
