TL;DR: An overview of the genome annotation process and the available tools is provided and some best-practice approaches are described.

TL;DR: There is no single road map to eusociality; independent evolutionary transitions in sociality have independent genetic underpinnings and these transitions do have similar general features, including an increase in constrained protein evolution accompanied by increases in the potential for gene regulation and decreases in diversity and abundance of transposable elements.

TL;DR: This work enables speciation investigations to identify lineages that are evolutionarily distinct and thus have the potential to form new species before these lineages acquire secondary characteristics such as reproductive isolation or morphological differentiation that are commonly used to define species.

TL;DR: In this article, two populations of an inbred ant that diverge in phenotype were sequenced to determine how variability is generated and reveal a tripartite interplay between transposable elements, life history and adaptation in an invasive species.

TL;DR: In this article , a comprehensive study aimed at exploring the relationship between the induced transcriptomic response and the target of a compound is presented, which reveals how the concordance between both modalities increases by connecting pathway and target information.
