A High-Resolution Atlas of the Brain Predicts Lineage and Birth Order Underly Neuronal Identity.

The paper creates a high-resolution single-cell transcriptomic atlas of the Drosophila brain, showing that neuronal identity is determined by lineage and birth order.

A Role for Exaptation in Sculpting Sexually Dimorphic Brains from Shared Neural Lineages.

The paper uses single-cell transcriptomics to show sex differences in Drosophila brains arise from fine-tuning shared developmental templates rather than large-scale reprogramming.

Low-level repressive histone marks fine-tune stemness gene transcription in neural stem cells

The paper shows that low-level H3K27me3 enrichment by FruC fine-tunes stemness gene transcription in fly neural stem cells, with conserved mechanisms in humans.

Fly Cell Atlas: a single-cell transcriptomic atlas of the adult fruit fly

The paper creates a single-cell transcriptomic atlas of the adult fruit fly, identifying over 250 cell types and analyzing gene signatures and sexual dimorphism across tissues.

A single-cell transcriptomic atlas of the adult Drosophila ventral nerve cord

The paper creates a single-cell transcriptomic atlas of the adult Drosophila ventral nerve cord, identifying over 100 transcriptionally distinct cell types.
