Journal ArticleDOI

Functional and evolutionary insights from the genomes of three parasitoid Nasonia species.

John H. Werren, +161 more
- 15 Jan 2010 - 
TL;DR: Key findings include the identification of a functional DNA methylation tool kit; hymenopteran-specific genes including diverse venoms; lateral gene transfers among Pox viruses, Wolbachia, and Nasonia; and the rapid evolution of genes involved in nuclear-mitochondrial interactions that are implicated in speciation.
Journal ArticleDOI

The genomes of two key bumblebee species with primitive eusocial organization

Ben M. Sadd, +154 more
- 24 Apr 2015 - 
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.
Journal ArticleDOI

Draft genome of the red harvester ant Pogonomyrmex barbatus

TL;DR: Gene networks involved in generating key differences between the queen and worker castes show signatures of increased methylation and suggest that ants and bees may have independently co-opted the same gene regulatory mechanisms for reproductive division of labor.
Journal ArticleDOI

The genome sequence of the leaf-cutter ant Atta cephalotes reveals insights into its obligate symbiotic lifestyle

TL;DR: Following recent reports of genome sequences from other insects that engage in symbioses with beneficial microbes, the A. cephalotes genome provides new insights into the symbiotic lifestyle of this ant and advances the understanding of host–microbe symbioss.
