damidBind: an R/Bioconductor package for differential DamID analysis and data exploration
Summary: DamID, and its cell-type specific adaptations, including Targeted DamID (TaDa), Chromatin Accessibility TaDa (CATaDa) and NanoDam, are now widely-adopted as techniques for the genome-wide pro...

Excited to share our latest work, just out in #GENETICS.

We show that neuronal & glial GAL4 driver activity changes dramatically over adult life, raising key questions for aging & neurodegeneration research.

Dynamic changes in neuronal and glial GAL4 driver expression during Drosophila aging
Abstract. Understanding how diverse cell types come together to form a functioning brain relies on the ability to specifically target these cells. This is
