TL;DR: 111,195 new elements are identified, including thousands of genes, coding and non-coding transcripts, exons, splicing and editing events and inferred protein isoforms that previously eluded discovery using established experimental, prediction and conservation-based approaches.

TL;DR: The Drosophila Encyclopedia of DNA Elements (modENCODE) project as mentioned in this paper has been used to map transcripts, histone modifications, chromosomal proteins, transcription factors, replication proteins and intermediates, and nucleosome properties across a developmental time course and in multiple cell lines.

TL;DR: This work uses the genomes of 12 Drosophila species for the de novo discovery of functional elements in the fly, and identifies several classes of pre- and post-transcriptional regulatory motifs, and predicts individual motif instances with high confidence.

TL;DR: It is found that a small set of mostly neural-specific genes has the potential to encode thousands of transcripts each through extensive alternative promoter usage and RNA splicing in Drosophila melanogaster.

TL;DR: In this paper, a complete assembly and mapping of the nonsatellite component of Drosophila heterochromatin was presented, with the use of available clone resources and assembly methods.
