Programmed meiotic errors facilitate dichotomous sperm production in the silkworm, Bombyx mori
The goal of meiosis is typically to produce haploid gametes (eggs or sperm). Failure to do so is catastrophic for fertility and offspring health. However, Lepidopteran (moths and butterflies) males pr...

To dissect the gene regulatory networks used to build organisms, we need Perturb-seq-like tools that work in whole animals.
For this purpose, we developed MIC-Drop-seq, a tool that couples high-throughput CRISPR in zebrafish embryos with single-cell RNAseq.
