Organization and function of Drosophila odorant binding proteins by Larter, Nikki K, Sun, Jennifer S, Carlson, John R

“…Odorant binding proteins (Obps) are remarkable in their number, diversity, and abundance, yet their role in olfactory coding remains unclear. They are widely…”

Chemosensory sensilla of the Drosophila wing express a candidate ionotropic pheromone receptor by He, Zhe, Luo, Yichen, Shang, Xueying, Sun, Jennifer S, Carlson, John R

“…The Drosophila wing was proposed to be a taste organ more than 35 years ago, but there has been remarkably little study of its role in chemoreception. We carry…”

An RNA-seq screen of the Drosophila antenna identifies a transporter necessary for ammonia detection by Menuz, Karen, Larter, Nikki K, Park, Joori, Carlson, John R

“…Many insect vectors of disease detect their hosts through olfactory cues, and thus it is of great interest to understand better how odors are encoded. However,…”
