A century ago, Cajal noted striking similarities between the neural circuits that underlie
vision in vertebrates and flies. Over the past few decades, structural and functional studies …

The CCAAT box promoter element and NF-Y, the transcription factor (TF) that binds to it,
were among the first cis-elements and trans-acting factors identified; their interplay is …

Precise patterns of synaptic connections between neurons are encoded in their genetic
programs. Here, we use single-cell RNA sequencing to profile neuronal transcriptomes at …

The visual systems of most species contain photoreceptors with distinct spectral sensitivities
that allow animals to distinguish lights by their spectral composition. In Drosophila …

The assembly of specific synaptic connections during development of the nervous system
represents a remarkable example of cellular recognition and differentiation. Neurons employ …

Across the animal kingdom, visual systems have evolved to be uniquely suited to the
environments and behavioral patterns of different species. Visual acuity and color …

Financial time series forecasting has been an attractive application of machine learning
techniques because an advanced forecasting method can help to accurately predict price …

Financial bankruptcy prediction is crucial for financial institutions in assessing the financial
health of companies and individuals. Such work is necessary for financial institutions to …

Transcription factors specify the fate and connectivity of developing neurons. We investigate
how a lineage-specific transcription factor, Acj6, controls the precise dendrite targeting of …

The regulatory mechanisms by which neurons coordinate their physiology and connectivity
are not well understood. The Drosophila olfactory receptor neurons (ORNs) provide an …
