Cross-species single cell transcriptomics in fly and beetle reveals the genetic core of brain neuroblast specification
The brain is essential for animal survival and based on its conserved Bauplan, an impressive adaptive diversity has evolved. However, the genetic mechanisms regulating brain development and diversification remain enigmatic. The insect neural stem cells (neuroblasts, NBs) acquire different identities through the combina...
