Outline of Final Research Achievements

Cooperative action of each cell behavior regulated by cell-fate determinants is important to generates forces to drive epithelial morphogenesis. One of the important step is that cells with different fates recognize each other and control their behavior. Although transcriptome status created by cell-fate determinants is supposed to regulate self-other recognition, it still remains unclear in details. To understand these mechanisms, we planned to establish quantitative genomic data of early Drosophila embryos at single cell resolution. We first established the protocol of single cell RNA-seq for Drosophila embryos and succeeded to get single-cell RNA-seq data of 251 cells. From this data, we identified some candidate genes that show ununiform expression among cells during dynamic epithelial morphogenesis controlled by self-other recognition.
