Transposon expression in the <i>Drosophila</i> brain is driven by neighboring genes and diversifies the neural transcriptome
2019-11-11
Abstract excerpt
Somatic transposition in neural tissue could contribute to neuropathology and individuality, but its prevalence is debated. We used single-cell mRNA sequencing to map transposon expression in the Drosophila midbrain. We found that neural transposon expression is driven by cellular genes. Every expressed transposon is resident in at least one cellular gene with a matching expression pattern. A new long-read RNA se...
