Investigation of the molecular-genetic basis for courtship differences between Drosophila melanogaster, Drosophila simulans and their hybrids

This study investigates the genetic and neural basis of courtship behavior differences between Drosophila melanogaster, D. simulans, and their hybrids, identifying conserved and species-specific molecular mechanisms.

Contribution of neurons that express fruitless and Clock transcription factors to behavioral rhythms and courtship

This study identifies sex-specific roles of fruitless and Clock-expressing neurons in regulating circadian rhythms and courtship behavior in Drosophila.

Single-cell transcriptome profiles of Drosophila fruitless-expressing neurons from both sexes

The paper profiles single-cell transcriptomes of Drosophila fruitless-expressing neurons, revealing sex-differential gene expression and functional dimorphism in circadian behavior.

Fly Cell Atlas: a single-cell transcriptomic atlas of the adult fruit fly

The paper creates a single-cell transcriptomic atlas of the adult fruit fly, identifying over 250 cell types and analyzing gene signatures and sexual dimorphism across tissues.

Analysis of cell-type-specific chromatin modifications and gene expression in Drosophila neurons that direct reproductive behavior

The paper analyzes chromatin modifications and gene expression in Drosophila fru P1 neurons to understand sex-specific and developmental differences in reproductive behavior.

Neurogenetic and genomic approaches reveal roles for Dpr/DIP cell adhesion molecules in Drosophila reproductive behavior

The paper identifies dpr and DIP genes expressed in fru P1 neurons and shows their role in Drosophila reproductive behavior through genetic and single-cell RNA-seq analyses.

Modular tissue-specific regulation of doublesex underpins sexually dimorphic development in Drosophila

The paper identifies modular cis-regulatory elements that control doublesex expression in sexually dimorphic structures in Drosophila legs and genitalia.
