The paper identifies and quantifies sensory neurons in Anopheles mosquitoes using a neurogenetic approach and introduces a genetic tool for functional analysis.

The paper maps the spatial distribution of olfactory ionotropic receptors in the malaria mosquito's antennae, revealing functional domains and co-localization patterns.

The paper maps chemosensory co-receptor expression in Drosophila olfactory neurons, revealing widespread co-expression patterns among Orco, Ir25a, Ir8a, and Ir76b.

The paper shows that in Anopheles gambiae, ectopic expression of an odorant receptor (AgOr2) in ORNs dampens neuronal activity and downregulates endogenous Or transcripts, unlike Drosophila where ectopic ORs do not interfere with native physiology.

This study demonstrates efficient base editing in Drosophila using a transgenic base editor, achieving high C>T conversion rates at targeted loci.

The paper develops a method to reconstruct dense neuronal lineages in Drosophila despite sparse sampling and suboptimal lineage encoding.

This study shows synthetic insect repellents like DEET and IR3535 reduce mosquito olfactory neuron responses to human odors by altering the chemical profile on skin.

This paper introduces a set of transgenic flies expressing GAL80 in specific olfactory sensory neurons to selectively inhibit GAL4-driven transgenes and study neuronal function.

This paper introduces olfactogenetics to specifically activate olfactory neurons in Drosophila and identifies neuron types and brain regions involved in suppressing oviposition.
