Generation of Odorant Receptor-QF2 Knock-In Drivers for Improved Analysis of Olfactory Circuits in Drosophila. (Genes Cells)
We generated a series of odorant receptor (Or)-QF2 knock-in driver (Or-QF2KI) lines for 23 Ors using the CRISPR/Cas9 knock-in method. These 23 lines are available from Kyoto Drosophila Stock Center.
An integrated anatomical, functional and evolutionary view of the Drosophila olfactory system. (EMBO Rep.)
We provide an integrated dataset of information on the molecular, anatomical and functional properties of the Drosophila olfactory system.
Cell-cycle-regulated transcriptional pausing of Drosophila replication-dependent histone genes. (Mol. Biol. Cell)
FISH probe sets for replication dependent histone genes that distinguish transcriptional pausing from elongation
Synergistic DNA and RNA binding of the Hox transcription factor Ultrabithorax coordinates splicing and shapes in vivo homeotic functions. (Nucleic Acids Res.)
RNA seq in Drosophila S2R+ cells New mutant RNA binding ability of Ubx
Protocol for identifying genomic binding sites of mitotic bookmarkers in Drosophila neural stem cells and cultured mammalian cells. (STAR Protoc)
We describe a workflow for isolating mitotic and interphase cells from Drosophila larval brains independent of cell-cycle synchronization and low-input in vivo CUT&Tag. It is applicable for identifying binding sites for mitotically retained factors in developing tissues.
Executioner caspase is proximal to Fasciclin 3 which facilitates non-lethal activation in Drosophila olfactory receptor neurons. (eLife)
We developed a Gal4-Manipulated Area Specific CaspaseTracker/CasExpress (MASCaT) system, which permits the monitoring of caspase activity near plasma membrane with high sensitivity and simultaneous genetic manipulation in the cells of interest.
DIGITtally-a new tool for streamlining and simplifying Drosophila melanogaster meta-analysis. (Nucleic Acids Res.)
New website (www.digittally.org) which provides automated meta-analysis across multiple high-profile fly resources
miR-137 targets Myc to regulate growth during eye development. (Development)
A sensor is generated to validate the target of the microRNA.
Protocol for long-term ex vivo cultivation and imaging of Drosophila imaginal discs. (STAR Protoc)
Advanced protocol for long-term ex vivo cultivation and imaging of D. melanogaster imaginal discs
