Journal ArticleDOI

Naturally occurring antibodies devoid of light chains

TL;DR: The presence of considerable amounts of IgG-like material of Mr 100K in the serum of the camel, which is composed of heavy-chain dimers and devoid of light chains, but nevertheless have an extensive antigen-binding repertoire, opens new perspectives in the engineering of antibodies.
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

Regulation of division of labor in insect societies

TL;DR: A key feature of the division of labor in insect colonies is its plasticity, which enables it to continue to grow, develop, and ultimately produce a new generation of reproductive males and females despite changing colony conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Big data: Astronomical or genomical?

TL;DR: Estimates show that genomics is a “four-headed beast”—it is either on par with or the most demanding of the domains analyzed here in terms of data acquisition, storage, distribution, and analysis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Gene expression profiles in the brain predict behavior in individual honey bees

TL;DR: It is shown that the age-related transition by adult honey bees from hive work to foraging is associated with changes in messenger RNA abundance in the brain for 39% of genes tested, demonstrating more extensive genomic plasticity in the adult brain than has yet been shown.
