The paper constructs predictive models to determine if genes respond to AoXlnR expression changes using DNA shape features around binding motifs.

The paper shows that presynaptic MAST kinase in C. elegans controls bidirectional postsynaptic responses to encode thermal stimulus valence through opposing signals.

This study identifies SLO potassium channels and CNG-3 as regulators of temperature preference transition timing in C. elegans thermotaxis behavior.
