Identification of transgene insertion sites via short- and long-read whole genome sequencing.

This study presents two whole genome sequencing pipelines to identify and genotype transgene insertion sites in transgenic mice, enabling accurate zygosity determination and breeding strategies.

dArc1 controls sugar reward valuation in Drosophila melanogaster

This study shows that dArc genes in Drosophila melanogaster regulate sugar reward valuation through capsid-mediated intercellular communication, affecting associative learning and reward valuation.

Visual input into the Drosophila melanogaster mushroom body

The paper identifies two novel visual input neurons to the Drosophila mushroom body, revealing a second pathway for visual information to the dorsal accessory calyx.
