Single‐cell RNA sequencing identifies eggplant as a regulator of germ cell development in Drosophila

Z Sun, TG Nystul, G Zhong - EMBO reports, 2023 - embopress.org
Drosophila ovarian germline stem cells (GSCs) are a powerful model for stem cell research.
In this study, we use single‐cell RNA sequencing (scRNA‐seq), an RNAi screen and …
