Tabula Drosophilae! The dream of a Fly Cell Atlas is now peer-reviewed reality! This fantastic resource provides deep genetic and genomic insights at the single-cell level for EVERY cell type in the adult fruit fly. Putting this together took single-cell nuclei sequencing enabled by CZ Biohub and 134 folks from >30 fly labs around the world who contributed diverse expertise in countless ways. As one part of this massive effort, we are proud to have been the FCA ‘gut lab’. Thousands of gut dissections done by our team’s hands, and our own Anthony Galenza led annotation of the digestive tract clusters. You can parse the data at the Fly Cell Atlas website here and check out the paper here.
