Drosophila melanogaster spermatids undergo dramatic morphological changes as they
differentiate from small round cells approximately 12 μm in diameter into highly polarized …

Proper differentiation of sperm from germline stem cells, essential for production of the next
generation, requires dramatic changes in gene expression that drive remodeling of almost …

In Drosophila, genes expressed in males tend to accumulate on autosomes and are
underrepresented on the X chromosome. In particular, genes expressed in testis have been …
