The paper identifies transcriptional regulators of abd-A and Abd-B in Drosophila adipocytes, revealing a feedback circuit involving Lola, Piragua, Seven up, and Wnt signaling that controls adipose tissue patterning.

The paper identifies a genetic crosstalk between Bithorax Complex genes and Wnt signaling that drives regional metabolic differences in Drosophila adipocytes.

This study investigates the distinct roles of CDK8 module subunits in Drosophila, showing that Med12-Med13 disruption severely impacts ribosome biogenesis and growth, while CDK8-CycC affects cell-cycle progression.

This study identifies CDK8-CycC's role in Drosophila wing vein patterning by interacting with the Dpp/TGF{beta} pathway and regulating Mad-dependent transcription.

This study shows that dKDM2 is not essential for Drosophila viability but regulates circadian rhythms, with loss-of-function mutants showing arrhythmic behavior and overexpression causing shorter periods.

This paper introduces flySAM, a CRISPRa tool for Drosophila that improves effectiveness, scalability, and ease-of-use compared to existing methods.
