Electron microcopy-based connectomics, in vivo functional imaging, and biophysical modeling reveal that mouse visual cortex chandelier cells, a type of GABAergic interneuron, are driven by arousal and distribute their synapses according to the individual properties of target cells.

A new nomenclature convention for mammalian cell types utilizing shared taxonomies and quantitative cell features is applied to high-quality, open data from the mouse and human brain.

Two novel, tightly linked, and rapidly evolving genes encoding small secreted proteins are necessary for female mosquitoes to protect their retained eggs during extended periods of drought.

High-quality genomes can be obtained from roadkill samples and used in population genomics for species delimitation with conservation implications.

Thousands of cell-type-specific split-GAL4 driver lines and a massive, searchable image collection enable Drosophila neuroscientists to target neurons of interest with increased precision.

Engineering male mosquitoes lacking the fruitless gene induces them to be attracted to humans.

By using mass spectrometry, we determined the global levels of various DNA modifications across species and tissues.

Systematic analysis of descending neuron anatomy reveals the basic functional map of descending sensory-motor pathways in flies and provides genetic tools for targeted interrogation of neural circuits.

Autism-associated SHANK3 missense mutations result in differential protein folding, stability, and intramolecular dynamics affecting its turnover at the synapse.

The first genomic view of beetle luciferase evolution indicates evolutionary independence of luciferase between fireflies and click-beetles, and provide valuable datasets which will accelerate the discovery of new biotechnological tools.
