NeuroPAL: A Multicolor Atlas for Whole-Brain Neuronal Identification in C. elegans

Eviatar Yemini et al.

Summary: NeuroPAL is a multicolor transgene that helps resolve neuronal identities in C. elegans. It can be used with various reporters of gene expression or neuronal dynamics and has been utilized in studies related to metabotropic receptor expression, cell fate changes, and brainwide activity in response to chemosensory cues.

Temporal transitions in the post-mitotic nervous system of Caenorhabditis elegans

HaoSheng Sun et al.

Summary: This study using the model organism Caenorhabditis elegans reveals that post-mitotic nervous system undergoes distinct functional and molecular states across temporal transitions during post-embryonic development. The regulation of neuron-type-specific gene expression by the conserved miRNA LIN-4 and its target lin-14 plays a crucial role in promoting a mature neuronal transcriptional program. The findings provide insights into regulatory strategies controlling distinct behavioral states across temporal, sexual, and environmental dimensions during post-embryonic development.

Molecular topography of an entire nervous system

Seth R. Taylor et al.

Summary: The gene expression profiles of 302 neurons in the C. elegans nervous system show that individual neuron classes can be identified by the combinatorial expression of specific gene families, forming a complex and extensive signaling network. Computational approaches were used to identify cis-regulatory elements for neuron-specific gene expression and reveal adhesion proteins related to process placement and synaptic specificity. This neuron-specific gene expression directory is expected to drive investigations into the mechanisms that define anatomy, connectivity, and function in the C. elegans nervous system.

A 4D single-cell protein atlas of transcription factors delineates spatiotemporal patterning during embryogenesis

Xuehua Ma et al.

Summary: This study utilizes a protein expression atlas to uncover cell fate and regulatory factors in Caenorhabditis elegans embryonic development. The research reveals the spatiotemporal expression patterns of TFs and a series of TFs that specify developmental states. Furthermore, the atlas uncovers the unexpected role of unknown TFs in neurogenesis and muscle differentiation.

Partitioning of gene expression among zebrafish photoreceptor subtypes

Yohey Ogawa et al.

Summary: This study identified subpopulations of green and red cones in zebrafish, which express specific opsins and cone phototransduction genes. Additionally, it was found that cone subtypes express distinct transcriptional regulators, enabling diversification of cone subtypes in teleosts. The partitioned gene expression among cone subtypes arose through whole-genome duplication or clade-specific gene duplications.
