Single-cell analysis of Schistosoma mansoni identifies a conserved genetic program controlling germline stem cell fate

Our understanding of how the germline of the parasitic flatworm Schistosoma mansoni develops is limited. Here, the authors use single cell RNAseq and functional genomic analysis of juvenile worms to identify a regulatory program that mediates the fate of germline stem cells between proliferation and...
