Journal ArticleDOI

Insights into social insects from the genome of the honeybee Apis mellifera

George M. Weinstock, +228 more
- 26 Oct 2006 - 
TL;DR: The genome sequence of the honeybee Apis mellifera is reported, suggesting a novel African origin for the species A. melliferA and insights into whether Africanized bees spread throughout the New World via hybridization or displacement.
Journal ArticleDOI

The genome of the model beetle and pest Tribolium castaneum.

Stephen Richards, +190 more
- 24 Apr 2008 - 
TL;DR: Tribolium castaneum is a member of the most species-rich eukaryotic order, a powerful model organism for the study of generalized insect development, and an important pest of stored agricultural products.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Genome Sequence of Taurine Cattle: A Window to Ruminant Biology and Evolution

Christine G. Elsik, +328 more
- 24 Apr 2009 - 
TL;DR: To understand the biology and evolution of ruminants, the cattle genome was sequenced to about sevenfold coverage and provides a resource for understanding mammalian evolution and accelerating livestock genetic improvement for milk and meat production.

The genome of the model beetle and pest Tribolium castaneum

TL;DR: Tribolium castaneum is a member of the most species-rich eukaryotic order, a powerful model organism for the study of generalized insect development, and an important pest of stored agricultural products as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI

The genome of the sea urchin Strongylocentrotus purpuratus.

Erica Sodergren, +246 more
- 10 Nov 2006 - 
TL;DR: The sequence and analysis of the 814-megabase genome of the sea urchin Strongylocentrotus purpuratus is reported, a model for developmental and systems biology and yields insights into the evolution of deuterostomes.
