The paper identifies a role for Dpp/BMP signaling in specifying neuronal connectivity in Drosophila SPRINz neurons for post-mating behaviors through sexual differentiation.

The paper investigates the role of cap-adjacent 2'-O-ribose methylation (cOMe) in C. elegans, showing it protects transcripts from decapping exonuclease EOL-1 and is essential for growth and germline development.

The paper identifies SP-target neurons in Drosophila that regulate post-mating behaviors through distinct neural circuits.

The paper investigates rapid promoter evolution and expression divergence of male accessory gland genes in closely related Drosophila species, showing cis-regulatory changes drive expression differences.

The paper investigates species-specific neonicotinoid toxicity by engineering a cross-species chimeric nAChR subunit in Drosophila and assesses its impact on motor function and survival.

This study shows TET dioxygenases localize at splicing speckles and promote RNA splicing through interactions with splicing factors and cytosine modifications.

The paper investigates stochastic and deterministic mechanisms of Dscam alternative exon inclusion in Drosophila and honey bees, revealing experience-directed splicing patterns.

The paper identifies DOA/CLK2 as a kinase that phosphorylates Fl(2)d/WTAP to enhance m6A methyltransferase complex activity, crucial for dosage compensation and splicing regulation.

This study shows that reducing Dscam expression enhances memory retention in honey bees and alters its alternative splicing during memory consolidation.

The paper develops PlatinumCRISPr, a tool for selecting efficient sgRNAs for CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing, identifies design constraints, and reports unintended DNA insertions from deletions.

This study identifies CMTr1 and CMTr2 as cap-adjacent 2'-O-ribose methyltransferases essential for reward learning and synaptic mRNA localization in Drosophila.

The paper identifies a splicing program in neurons of Drosophila and mammals, showing how it evolves independently in different species to regulate ion channels and neuronal activity.

This study identifies Nup54's role in Drosophila female reproductive behaviors by linking it to neuronal wiring and sexual differentiation in response to male sex-peptide.

This study shows that ELAV, a single elav gene in honey bees, is dynamically expressed and required for learning and memory through alternative splicing and subcellular localization changes.

The paper identifies Srrm234 as a key regulator of Dscam exon 9 alternative splicing, showing that canonical SR and hnRNP proteins have minimal impact on this process.
