Techniques that enable precise manipulations of subsets of neurons in the fly central nervous system (CNS) have greatly facilitated our understanding of the neural basis of behavior. Split-GAL4 driver lines allow specific targeting of cell types in and other species. We describe here a collection of 3060 lines targeting a range of cell types in the adult CNS and 1373 lines characterized in third-instar larvae.

While the majority of PDAC cases harbor KRAS mutations, approximately 8%-10% are KRAS wild-type (KRAS-WT). These KRAS-WT tumors often contain actionable mutations and gene fusions, making them more suitable for precision therapies.
