Single cell RNA sequencing of D. pseudoobscura testes reveals transcriptional signatures of heteromorphic spermatogenesis

The paper uses single-cell RNA sequencing to study D. pseudoobscura testes, identifying transcriptional differences between eusperm and parasperm lineages during spermatogenesis.

CLUSTERING SPERM: A STATISTICAL APPROACH TO IDENTIFY SPERM MORPH NUMBERS IN THE DROSOPHILA OBSCURA SPECIES GROUP

The paper reanalyzes sperm length data from multiple Drosophila species using statistical clustering to determine the number of sperm morphs, finding that some species have two parasperm morphs while others have one.

Differential gene expression underpinning production of distinct sperm morphs in the wax moth Galleria mellonella.

The paper identifies differentially expressed genes involved in the production of distinct sperm morphs in the wax moth, revealing transcriptional regulation and gene duplication mechanisms.

Emergent dynamics of adult stem cell lineages from single nucleus and single cell RNA-Seq of Drosophila testes

The paper provides single nucleus and single cell RNA-seq data from Drosophila testes to study spermatogenesis, identifying rare cell types and developmental transitions.

Fly Cell Atlas: a single-cell transcriptomic atlas of the adult fruit fly

The paper creates a single-cell transcriptomic atlas of the adult fruit fly, identifying over 250 cell types and analyzing gene signatures and sexual dimorphism across tissues.

Reduced function of the RNA export factor, Nxt1, in Drosophila causes muscle degeneration and lowers expression of genes with long introns and circular RNA
