This study shows that PHA-4/FoxA is required for the terminal differentiation and lifelong function of multiple enteric neuron types in C. elegans.

This study identifies CUT-dependent chromatin accessibility changes in neuronal nuclei using ATAC-seq in C. elegans.

The paper shows that UNC-75/CELF-mediated alternative splicing controls pan-neuronal expression of the homeobox gene ceh-44/CUX in C. elegans while excluding a Golgi-localized golgin from neurons.

This study investigates the role of hlh-2, the C. elegans homolog of Daughterless/E, in neurogenesis and finds that its effects are restricted rather than universal across different neuron lineages.

The paper investigates the role of homeobox genes in neuronal identity specification in C. elegans, finding that 111 of 118 neuron classes require homeobox genes for proper differentiation.

This study identifies ceh-34 as a key gene specifying enteric nervous system differentiation in C. elegans, showing its role in neuron type-specific programs and circuit assembly.

The paper identifies six CUT homeobox genes that collectively control pan-neuronal gene expression in C. elegans through gene dosage and interaction with neuron-type specific transcription factors.

The paper shows neurons and astrocytes in specific brain regions share transcriptional and epigenetic signatures, which are maintained even after reprogramming.

The paper identifies pals-22 as a gene required to prevent silencing of repetitive transgenes in C. elegans somatic tissues and links it to RNAi-dependent mechanisms.
