Abstract:The polarization of cells often involves the transport of specific mRNAs and their localized translation in distal projections. Neurons and glia both contain long cytoplasmic processes with important functions. While mRNA localization has been studied extensively in neurons, little is known in glia, especially in intact nervous systems. Here, we predicted 1700 localizedDrosophilaglial transcripts by extrapolating from our meta-analysis of 8 existing studies characterizing the localized transcriptomes and trans… Show more
