Single-cell transcriptome maps of myeloid blood cell lineages in Drosophila

Abstract

How the Drosophila lymph gland hemocytes develop and are regulated at a single-cell level is unclear. Here, the authors use single-cell RNA sequencing to show heterogeneity of developing hemocytes in the lymph gland and how they react to wasp infestation, and compare hemocytes from two independent origins.
