The paper analyzes insect odorant receptor (OR) diversity across 115 species using sequence, structure, and docking profiles, finding associations with diet and habitat and identifying a conserved Orco domain.

This study introduces CrossVOI, a framework for VOC-OR interaction prediction using protein language models and cross-attention, showing improved performance and interpretability of attention mechanisms in human olfactory receptors.

This study develops a transfer learning model to predict volatile-odorant receptor interactions in Diptera, revealing species-specific olfactory preferences and informing pest management strategies.

The paper identifies 31 projectome-defined subtypes of hypothalamic neurons and six modular subnetworks, revealing the organization of axon projections and their functional roles.
