New protein labeling strategies unravel the subcellular distribution of neurotransmitter receptor subunits and voltage-gated ion channels in motion-sensing T4/T5 neurons of the Drosophila visual system.

Dorsal raphe Pet1 neurons are molecularly heterogeneous, comprising as many as fourteen distinct subtypes that show biased cell body distributions across dorsal raphe subdomains.
Barcoded rabies virus tracing combined with single-cell RNAseq and in situ sequencing achieves high-throughput retrograde projection mapping and synaptic connectivity mapping at cellular resolution.

Seemingly contradictory findings of single-molecule and in vivo experiments on a major mechanism of chromosome organization are reconciled by computationally investigating mechanisms of loop extrusion that are consistent with both.

A method for genetically barcoding Drosophila is developed and used to tag defined cell populations in vivo for single-cell transcriptomics experiments and to enable multiplexed behavioral analysis.
A proximity labeling approach defines germ granule proteome in Caenorhabditis elegans, and identifies LOTUS domain proteins as key regulators of germ granule assembly.

With the new Ankyrin-G-GFP reporter line, researchers can visualize and study neuronal compartments critical for signal transduction without affecting neuronal activity and subcellular integrity of the cells under investigation.
