The testis is a peculiar tissue in many respects. It shows patterns of rapid gene evolution and provides a hotspot for the origination of genetic novelties such as de novo genes, duplications and mutations. To investigate the expression patterns of genetic novelties across cell types, we performed single-cell RNA-sequencing of adult <i>Drosophila</i> testis. We found that new genes were expressed in various cell types, the patterns of which may be influenced by their mode of origination. In part ...[more]
