DANCE is an open-source platform with low-cost hardware and machine learning classifiers to quantify aggression and courtship in Drosophila, outperforming expensive alternatives.

This study identifies Drosulfakinin as a regulator of social isolation-induced aggression in Drosophila, showing a U-shaped relationship between Dsk signaling and aggressive behavior.

The paper identifies epigenetic and transcriptional changes in Drosophila dopaminergic neurons due to social isolation using a modified INTACT method and ChIP-seq.
