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

Telomere-specific non-LTR retrotransposons and telomere maintenance in the silkworm, Bombyx mori

TL;DR: The silkworm, Bombyx mori, retains the TTAGG motifs in the chromosomal ends but expresses quite a low level of telomerase activity in all stages of various tissues, and more than 1000 copies of non-LTR retrotransposons, designated TRAS and SART, occur among the telomeric repeats and accumulate.
Journal ArticleDOI

Identification and characterization of the telomerase reverse transcriptase of Bombyx mori (silkworm) and Tribolium castaneum (flour beetle)

TL;DR: This work has identified telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) subunit from the domestic silkworm B. mori and the flour beetle Tribolium castaneum, the first report of telomersase genes from arthropods.
Journal ArticleDOI

Essential Motifs in the 3′ Untranslated Region Required for Retrotransposition and the Precise Start of Reverse Transcription in Non-Long-Terminal-Repeat Retrotransposon SART1

TL;DR: It is shown that a telomere-specific non-LTR retrotransposon of the silkworm, SART1, requires the 3′ untranslated region (3′ UTR) for retrotransposition, and it is demonstrated that the mRNA for green fluorescent protein (GFP) could be retrotransposed into telomeric repeats when the GFP coding region is fused with the S ART1 3′ U TR and Sart1 open reading frame proteins are supplied in
