This paper develops a dCas9-based tool to measure DNA sequence proximity and orientation, finding that rotational alignment significantly affects dCas9 interactions.

This study introduces an individual self-administration assay in zebrafish to model ethanol abuse and study its behavioral and neurobiological effects.

MIC-Drop-seq combines CRISPR and scRNA-seq to phenotype mutant zebrafish embryos, revealing known and novel gene functions in development.

The paper identifies prey-specific toxins in cephalopod venom, including neurotensin-mimicking peptides that target fish, revealing an evolutionary strategy for broad venom activity.

Megabouts is a software package for zebrafish locomotion analysis that uses a Transformer neural network to classify behaviors flexibly across tracking methods and frame rates.

This study shows that inhibiting Cyp1a protects mice from anthracycline-induced cardiomyopathy by reducing cardiac dysfunction and altering gene expression related to mitophagy and inflammation.

The paper identifies molleamine C as a partial antagonist of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors with potential for neuroactive drug development.

This study shows finasteride reduces opioid self-administration in zebrafish and rats without affecting locomotion or feeding, and suggests steroidogenic pathways as potential targets for OUD treatment.
