The paper identifies Zrf1 as an epigenetic factor regulating intestinal stem cell proliferation and genome stability in Drosophila midgut regeneration.

This paper introduces Haystack, a method to prioritize causal transcription factors from single-cell data, validated in Drosophila, showing high accuracy in identifying drivers of differentiation.

The paper creates a single-cell transcriptomic atlas of the adult fruit fly, identifying over 250 cell types and analyzing gene signatures and sexual dimorphism across tissues.

The paper introduces two short NanoTag epitopes and their nanobodies for in vivo protein visualization and manipulation in Drosophila, demonstrating their utility in multiple assays and CRISPR-based tagging.

FlyPhoneDB predicts cell-cell communication in Drosophila using scRNA-seq data by calculating interaction scores between ligand-receptor pairs.

This study identifies FIBCD1 as a conserved receptor for chondroitin sulphate proteoglycans in the brain ECM, linking it to neurodevelopmental disorders through genetic and functional analyses.

The paper shows that Drosophila Muscleblind regulates Dscam2 alternative splicing, promoting isoform A and repressing isoform B in specific cell types.
