The paper describes a CRISPR/Cas9-based method to convert GAL4 to LexA driver lines in Drosophila for educational use in a summer classroom setting.

The paper describes a CRISPR/Cas9-based curriculum enabling secondary school students to generate LexA lines from GAL4 lines, resulting in 16 novel lines and a standardized workflow.

The paper develops a genetic method to measure tissue-specific insulin signaling dynamics in Drosophila using phosphorylated Akt quantification.

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 describes genetic tools and teaching methods to convert Gal4 lines to LexA lines and generate LexAop-shRNA lines for gene suppression in Drosophila.

The paper describes the generation and characterization of novel LexA enhancer trap lines in Drosophila through a collaborative interscholastic network.
