The paper develops an iterative ATAC-seq approach to refine transgene expression in specific neuronal subtypes in Drosophila.

The paper analyzes genetic data to reveal an inverse correlation between initial ethanol resistance and tolerance in Drosophila, suggesting a method to identify true tolerance mutants.

This study shows Drosophila avoid cocaine via bitter taste sensing, requiring Gr66a, and identifies a peripheral mechanism for toxin detection.

The paper shows that chloride levels in Drosophila pacemaker neurons regulate circadian rhythms via a WNK-Fray signaling cascade and potassium channel activity.

This paper identifies a gut-to-brain signaling pathway in Drosophila that modulates arousability from sleep through a peptide, CCHa1, which affects dopaminergic neurons.
