The paper identifies genes involved in octanoic acid resistance by combining experimental evolution and CRISPR screens in Drosophila species.

This study shows how Drosophila sechellia evolved a specialized olfactory receptor to detect ripe noni fruit, enabling temporal niche partitioning by reducing competition and parasitization.

The paper completes and integrates data on the Drosophila olfactory system, revealing new neuron classes and relationships between sensory pathways.

The paper studies the Drosophila olfactory system to show how multiple regulatory layers ensure functional precision and allow evolutionary changes in sensory neuron specification.

The paper shows that expanded sensory neuron populations in Drosophila enhance odor tracking without increasing projection neuron sensitivity.

The paper identifies a support cell-expressed protein, Osi8, essential for pheromone sensing in Drosophila by analyzing transcriptomic data of olfactory subsystems.

The paper identifies receptor gene-dependent mechanisms that ensure singular expression of olfactory receptors in Drosophila through transcriptional and post-transcriptional repression.

The paper shows that inhibiting programmed cell death in Drosophila olfactory neurons generates functional 'undead' neurons that integrate into circuits and contribute to evolutionary differences in carbon dioxide sensing.

The paper maps sensory neuron lineages in Drosophila olfactory system and identifies Pointed's role in determining cell fates through genetic and transcriptomic analysis.

The paper identifies a molecular basis for carbonation detection using Drosophila IRs, showing that Ir56d, along with co-receptors, is essential for carbonation and fatty acid sensing.
