In situ mutational screening and CRISPR interference define apterous cis-regulatory inputs during compartment boundary formation

The paper identifies cis-regulatory elements controlling apterous expression during Drosophila wing compartment boundary formation using CRISPR interference and mutational analysis.

Genetic characterization of the apterous Life Span Enhancer in Drosophila melanogaster

The paper identifies and functionally characterizes a novel cis-regulatory element, apLSE, essential for hindgut morphogenesis and adult survival in Drosophila melanogaster.

Intestinal control of feeding initiation in Drosophila melanogaster

This study shows that in Drosophila, feeding initiation depends on partial meconium excretion, revealing a gut-to-brain signaling circuit linking intestinal clearance and feeding behavior.

Boundaries support specific long-distance interactions between enhancers and promoters in Drosophila Bithorax complex

The paper shows that boundaries in Drosophila BX-C both block crosstalk between regulatory domains and actively facilitate long-distance communication between domains and their target genes.
