Single-Cell Atlas of Adult Testis in Protogynous Hermaphroditic Orange-Spotted Grouper, <i>Epinephelus coioides</i>

Spermatogenesis is a process of self-renewal and differentiation in spermatogonial stem cells. During this process, germ cells and somatic cells interact intricately to ensure long-term fertility and accurate genome propagation. Spermatogenesis has been intensely investigated in mammals but remains...
