Neuropeptide Receptors Harbor More Genomic Regulatory Elements in Their Loci Than the Loci of Their Ligands

Hadi Najafi, Seung Hun Jeong, Woo Jae Kim, Sun Shim Choi

The paper compares genomic and epigenomic features of neuropeptide and receptor genes, finding that receptor loci have longer transcripts, more regulatory elements, and higher epigenetic complexity.

The astrocyte-enriched gene CG11000 plays a crucial role in the development, locomotion and lifespan of D. melanogaster

Hadi Najafi, Kyle Wong, Ammar Salkini, Hongyu Miao, Woo Jae Kim

This study identifies CG11000 as an astrocyte-enriched gene in Drosophila, showing its role in development, locomotion, and lifespan through single-cell RNA sequencing and functional assays.
