This study investigates the genetic and neural basis of courtship behavior differences between Drosophila melanogaster, D. simulans, and their hybrids, identifying conserved and species-specific molecular mechanisms.

The paper profiles single-cell transcriptomes of Drosophila fruitless-expressing neurons, revealing sex-differential gene expression and functional dimorphism in circadian behavior.

The paper analyzes chromatin modifications and gene expression in Drosophila fru P1 neurons to understand sex-specific and developmental differences in reproductive behavior.

The paper identifies dpr and DIP genes expressed in fru P1 neurons and shows their role in Drosophila reproductive behavior through genetic and single-cell RNA-seq analyses.
