Dynamic neurotransmitter specific transcription factor expression profiles during Drosophila development

The paper identifies transcription factors uniquely expressed or depleted in specific neurotransmitter types during Drosophila development and shows they directly bind key neuronal genes.

Condensin I subunit Cap-G is essential for proper gene expression during the maturation of post-mitotic neurons

This study shows that Cap-G, a condensin I subunit, is essential for proper gene expression in post-mitotic neurons, leading to developmental arrest and gene expression changes when knocked down.
