Single-nucleus transcriptomics of wing sexual dimorphism and scale cell specialization in sulphur butterflies

Ling Sheng Loh, Joseph J. Hanly, Alexander Carter, Martik Chatterjee, Martina Tsimba, Donya N. Shodja, Luca Livraghi, Christopher R. Day, Robert D. Reed, W. Owen McMillan, Gregory A. Wray, Arnaud Martin

This study uses single-nucleus transcriptomics to investigate sex-specific gene expression in wing scale cells of Colias eurytheme butterflies, revealing regulatory mechanisms underlying sexual dimorphism.

Lepidopteran scale cells derive from sensory organ precursors through a canonical lineage

Ling Sheng Loh, Kyle A. DeMarr, Martina Tsimba, Christa Heryanto, Alejandro Berrío, Nipam H. Patel, Arnaud Martin, W. Owen McMillan, Gregory A. Wray, Joseph J. Hanly

This study shows that lepidopteran scale cells originate from sensory organ precursors through a canonical lineage, supported by live imaging and single-nucleus RNA sequencing.
