A Drosophila single-cell 3D spatiotemporal multi-omics atlas unveils panoramic key regulators of cell-type differentiation. (Cell)
This paper generated a comprehensive single-cell multi-omics database including scRNA-seq and scATAC-seq data spanning embryogenesis, as well as spatial transcriptomic data from embryos to pupae. This database provides a useful resource for Drosophila research.

Drosophila video-assisted activity monitor (DrosoVAM): a versatile method for behaviour monitoring. (R. Soc. Open Sci.)
A new, video-based fly monitoring system is developed to monitor fly activity. The system is relatively inexpensive, simple to implement, and can be modified for use in a variety of different assays including the monitoring of circadian activity and conditional preferences.
