Identification of Cell Types in a Mouse Brain

Arnold Kriegstein and Apharna Badhuri show that analysis of 50.000 cells can recapitulate the structure of a 1.3 million cell RNAseq mouse brain atlas, suggesting that profiling more individuals at low cell resolution may be beneficial for atlas-scale studies

All-Female Termite Societies

Toshihisa Yashiro and colleagues show that in termites asexual social lineages can evolve from mixed-sex societies, suggesting that males are dispensable for the maintenance of advanced animal societies in which they previously played an active social role
