Transcriptional and mutational signatures of the Drosophila ageing germline.

Abstract excerpt

Ageing is a complex biological process that is accompanied by changes in gene expression and mutational load. In many species, including humans, older fathers pass on more paternally derived de novo mutations; however, the cellular basis and cell types driving this pattern are still unclear. To explore the root causes of this phenomenon, we performed single-cell RNA sequencing on testes from young and old male...
