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.

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

Ribosomal DNA phylogeny of the major extant arthropod classes and the evolution of myriapods

TL;DR: Using nuclear ribosomal gene sequences for constructing a molecular phylogeny, this work provides strong evidence that the crustaceans and not the myriapods should be considered to be the sister group of the insects.
Journal ArticleDOI

Spalt encodes an evolutionarily conserved zinc finger protein of novel structure which provides homeotic gene function in the head and tail region of the Drosophila embryo.

TL;DR: Sequence analysis of the sal gene of Drosophila virilis suggests that the sal function is conserved during evolution, consistent with its proposed role in head formation during arthropod evolution.
