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

Abstract:
The fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster has served as a premier model organism for discovering fundamental and evolutionarily conserved biological mechanisms. Combining recent advances in single-cell sequencing with powerful fly genetic tools holds great promise for making further discoveries. Li et al. present a single-cell atlas of the entire adult fly that includes 580,000 cells and more than 250 annotated cell types. Cells from the head and body recapitulated cell types from 15 dissected tissues. In-depth analyses revealed rare cell types, cell-type-specific gene signatures, and sexual dimorphism. This atlas provides a resource for the Drosophila community to study genetic perturbations and diseases at single-cell resolution. —BAP
