In Step, the sole Drosophila TENT5 poly(A) polymerase, is required for spermatid elongation and individualization

This study identifies the Drosophila TENT5 poly(A) polymerase, Isep, as essential for spermatid elongation and individualization, with its function independent of poly(A) polymerase activity.

A genetic screen to identify novel interactions of the phosphatidylinositol phosphate signaling pathway in Drosophila spermatogenesis

The paper identifies genetic interactions of the phosphatidylinositol phosphate signaling pathway in Drosophila spermatogenesis through a sensitized genetic screen.

The C-terminal ZZ domain of the Drosophila ORB2 RNA-binding protein is required for spermatid individualization

This paper shows that the C-terminal ZZ domain of Drosophila ORB2 is essential for spermatid individualization, as its deletion leads to mislocalization of key proteins and sterility.

Eukaryotic translation initiation factor eIF4E-5 is required for spermiogenesis in Drosophila melanogaster

This study shows that eIF4E-5 is essential for spermatid cyst polarization, individualization, and male fertility in Drosophila by regulating caspase activity and Soti localization.

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.
