TL;DR: The generation and validation of a genome-wide library of Drosophila melanogaster RNAi transgenes, enabling the conditional inactivation of gene function in specific tissues of the intact organism and opening up the prospect of systematically analysing gene functions in any tissue and at any stage of the Drosophile lifespan.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular Mechanisms of Axon Guidance
TL;DR: This work has shown that a relatively small number of guidance factors can be used to generate intricate patterns of neuronal wiring through signaling pathways still only poorly understood.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular, anatomical, and functional organization of the Drosophila olfactory system
TL;DR: These Or expression and ORN connectivity maps provide further insight into the molecular, anatomical, and functional organization of the Drosophila olfactory system and provide an essential resource for investigating how internal odor representations are generated and how they are further processed and transmitted to higher brain centers.
Journal ArticleDOI
A single class of olfactory neurons mediates behavioural responses to a Drosophila sex pheromone.
TL;DR: It is shown that the Drosophila melanogaster male-specific pheromone 11-cis-vaccenyl acetate (cVA) acts through the receptor Or67d to regulate both male and female mating behaviour, and it is suggested that cVA has opposite effects in the two sexes: inhibiting mating behaviour in males but promoting mating behaviours in females.
Journal ArticleDOI
Analysis of Drosophila photoreceptor axon guidance in eye-specific mosaics
TL;DR: It is suggested that PTP69D plays a permissive role, perhaps reducing the adhesion of R1-R6 and R7 growth cones to the pioneer R8 axon so that they can respond independently to their specific targeting cues.
