The paper presents a large dataset of olfactory perceptions of 480 diverse molecules and identifies correlations between molecular features and perceptual qualities.

This study identifies TRPA1 as essential for mosquito thermotaxis toward host temperatures, showing it enables discrimination between host and higher temperatures during host-seeking.

The paper improves genome annotation of Aedes aegypti using transcriptomic analysis and provides a tissue-specific catalogue of neural gene expression across different behavioral states.

This study applies CRISPR-Cas9 to Aedes aegypti to generate site-specific mutations, showing its efficiency and versatility for genome editing in this mosquito species.
