The molecular basis of scale development highlighted by a single-cell atlas of Bicyclus anynana butterfly pupal forewings

Summary: Butterfly wings display a diversity of cell types, including large polyploid scale cells, yet the molecular basis of such diversity is poorly understood. To explore scale cell diversity at a transcriptomic level, we employ single-cell RNA sequencing of ∼5,200 large cells (>6 μm) from 22....
