The paper investigates the role of the Drosophila maternal-effect gene ao in histone gene repression and finds that ao does not repress histone gene expression.

The paper investigates Zelda's role in histone gene regulation in Drosophila melanogaster and finds that Zelda does not affect histone mRNA levels or histone locus body formation when depleted.

The paper investigates whether cis element length variability affects transcription factor occupancy at the D. melanogaster histone locus and finds no such bias.

The paper shows that the Drosophila transcription factor CLAMP uses both cis element and local sequence information to perform context-specific functions at different genomic loci.

This paper develops a hybrid RNA FISH and immunofluorescence protocol to visualize protein-DNA interactions on Drosophila polytene chromosomes, demonstrating its ability to detect protein localization to transgenes.

The paper identifies new Hox and chromatin remodeling factors interacting with the Drosophila histone gene array using a ChIP dataset screen.

The paper identifies MSL2 recruitment to a specific histone locus in D. virilis and shows differences in cis-regulatory mechanisms compared to D. melanogaster.

The paper investigates whether Max is part of the Drosophila histone locus body and concludes it is not based on ChIP-seq and ChIP-nexus data.

The paper shows that CLAMP and Zelda work together to drive zygotic genome activation in Drosophila by enhancing chromatin accessibility and promoting transcription.

This study identifies how the MSLc complex targets the X-chromosome in Drosophila embryos using meiotic drive and ChIP-seq, revealing a multi-stage process involving CLAMP binding sites.

This study generates a null mutant of the Drosophila clamp gene, revealing its essential role in both male and female viability and its sex-specific functions in dosage compensation and sex-determination.
