This paper describes a national peer mentorship program for first-year graduate students, highlighting its impact and challenges.

The paper investigates the role of homeobox genes in defining neuronal diversity in the male-specific nervous system of C. elegans, showing their expression patterns and functional importance.

The paper generates a draft connectome of neuropeptide signaling in C. elegans by integrating single-cell data with biochemical analysis.

The paper investigates the role of homeobox genes in neuronal identity specification in C. elegans, finding that 111 of 118 neuron classes require homeobox genes for proper differentiation.

The paper uses NeuroPAL to visualize and analyze the differentiation of male-specific neurons in C. elegans, showing coordinated terminal differentiation in the fourth larval stage.

The paper maps GPCR expression and function in C. elegans egg-laying circuit, revealing redundancy and compensation in receptor signaling.

The paper investigates the neural circuit controlling C. elegans egg-laying behavior, identifying signals that switch between active and inactive states.
