This study investigates the role of P2 neurons in post-mating behavioral changes in Drosophila melanogaster and finds they are not responsible for altered sleep and food consumption after mating.

The paper introduces an empirical Bayes method to estimate ODE models of gene expression and derives a biologically-informed similarity metric to identify co-regulated gene clusters.

The paper uses time series RNA-sequencing to analyze the female Drosophila melanogaster's transcriptional response to Sex Peptide, revealing metabolic and neuronal gene regulatory networks and interactions with the circadian clock.

The paper performs high-resolution RNA-seq time course analysis of Drosophila immune response to Imd stimulation, identifying gene expression dynamics and trade-offs with metabolic processes.

This study shows that the microbiome interacts with mating to alter gene expression in Drosophila females, affecting fecundity and immune responses.

The paper identifies eight genes affecting female sperm competition success in Drosophila melanogaster, with two genes specifically impacting neuronal pathways.
