The paper describes CRISPR/Cas9-engineered C. elegans strains with tissue-specific sex transformations and validates their effects through gene expression and behavioral analysis.

The paper analyzes all C. elegans cadherin genes to uncover their expression patterns and functions in the nervous system, revealing neuron-specific roles across different anatomical scales.

The paper identifies the role of C. elegans bHLH genes in specifying neuron identity and function, revealing that hlh-15/NHLH controls lifespan through neuropeptide secretion in AVK neurons.

The paper identifies how juvenile experience influences sexually dimorphic synaptic connectivity in C. elegans through sex-specific cadherin expression regulated by CREB and LIN-29.

The paper introduces WormPsyQi, an image analysis pipeline for high-throughput quantification of synaptically localized fluorescent signals, along with 30 transgenic C. elegans strains for synaptic labeling.
