This study identifies Tono as a mechanically responsive transcriptional regulator that controls sarcomere maturation through liquid-liquid phase separation in Drosophila muscle development.

The paper was withdrawn due to lack of data use authorizations and is not to be cited as reference.

The paper identifies a biphasic mode of sarcomere development in Drosophila flight muscles, regulated by Spalt major, with distinct phases of assembly and maturation.

This study shows that ACF1-containing chromatin remodeling complexes repress gene expression by maintaining a repressive chromatin state in Drosophila.

This paper introduces a two-step CRISPR-RMCE strategy for efficient genome engineering in Drosophila, demonstrating high efficiency in modifying four different loci.
