Drosophila provides a powerful genetic system and an excellent model to study the
development and function of the nervous system. The fly's small brain and complex behavior …

Single‐cell RNA sequencing provides a new approach to an old problem: how to study
cellular diversity in complex biological systems. This powerful tool has been instrumental in …

Single‐cell RNA sequencing (scRNA‐seq) has emerged as a powerful tool for investigating
cell states and functions at the single‐cell level. It has greatly revolutionized transcriptomic …

With the advent of single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) technologies, there has been a
spike in studies involving scRNA-seq of several tissues across diverse species including …

Methods to visualize gene expression in the Drosophila central nervous system are
important in fly neurogenetic studies. In this chapter, we describe a detailed protocol that …

The Drosophila larval ventral nerve cord (VNC) shares many similarities with the spinal cord
of vertebrates and has emerged as a major model for understanding the development and …

The Drosophila ventral nerve cord (VNC) receives and processes descending signals from
the brain to produce a variety of coordinated locomotor outputs. It also integrates sensory …

Molecular profiles of neurons influence neural development and function but bridging the
gap between genes, circuits, and behavior has been very difficult. Here we used single cell …

Many insect cells are encapsulated within the exoskeleton and cannot be dissociated intact,
making them inaccessible to single-cell transcriptomic profiling. We have used single …

Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNAseq) experiments provide a powerful means to identify
clusters of cells that share common gene expression signatures. A major challenge in …
