Cover: An adult Drosophila wild-type testis labelled with an antibody against Aubergine (green). Aubergine belongs to the AGO family of proteins, and is involved in maintaining genome stability by silencing the expression of transposons and repetitive sequences. DAPI marks all nuclei (blue), and the antibody against αSpectrin (red) distinguishes proximally located spermatogonia, which exhibit round fusomes (towards the top), from distally located spermatocytes, which exhibit branched fusomes (towards the bottom). See article by M. P. Bozzetti et al. (pp. 2070–2084).
