TL;DR: Overall, gene repertoires suggest that the route to advanced eusociality in bees was mediated by many small changes in many genes and processes, and not by notable expansion or depauperation.

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: The prevalence of Gram-negative species in the gut and the increased plasma IL-6 in patients could be linked to low-grade inflammation and insulin resistance, and the detection of inflammatory markers could be used as diabetes predictive markers in overweight, obese and in genetically predisposed individuals to develop T2D.

TL;DR: In this study, rapid subtractive hybridization and microarray analysis was combined to select genes that are putatively reactivated by the demethylating agent 5-aza-2'-deoxycytidine in HNSCC cell lines, supporting a potential use of CRABP2 expression as a prognostic biomarker for H NSCC patients.

TL;DR: This is the first study of the H. brasiliensis transcriptome, leading to the production of the first developed SNP markers, and this process could be amplified to a larger set of in silico detected SNVs in expressed genes in order to increase the marker density in available and future genetic maps.
