Heterogeneity in the Response of Different Subtypes of <i>Drosophila melanogaster</i> Midgut Cells to Viral Infections

Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) offers the possibility to monitor both host and pathogens transcriptomes at the cellular level. Here, public scRNA-seq datasets from <i>Drosophila melanogaster</i> midgut cells were used to compare the differences in replication strategy and cellula...
