The paper identifies a frequent undesired insertional mutagenesis event during CRISPR/Cas9 HDR-based genome editing in Drosophila and proposes a solution to detect and exclude affected animals.

This study shows that spontaneous neurotransmitter release is regulated by the synaptic function of Unc-5 in Drosophila, affecting synaptic structure and behavior.

The paper develops new genetic tools for synchronous temporal control of transgenes in Drosophila tissues using hybrid binary gene regulatory systems.

The paper quantifies neurons and glia in the Drosophila larval CNS, revealing sexual dimorphism with more neurons in females and topological differences.
