Selective bHLH relay factors and modular enhancers decode Notch signaling during neuronal diversification in the Drosophila medulla

The paper identifies how Notch signaling generates diverse neuronal fates through modular enhancers and distinct bHLH factors that decode Notch status via different E-box motifs.

A comprehensive temporal patterning gene network in Drosophila medulla neuroblasts revealed by single-cell RNA sequencing

The paper uses single-cell RNA sequencing to study temporal patterning in Drosophila medulla neuroblasts, identifying novel transcription factors and revealing a comprehensive gene network governing temporal progression and cell cycle exit.
