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

Host Biology in Light of the Microbiome: Ten Principles of Holobionts and Hologenomes.

TL;DR: The conceptual and evidence-based foundation provided in this essay is expected to serve as a roadmap for hypothesis-driven, experimentally validated research on holobionts and their hologenomes, thereby catalyzing the continued fusion of biology's subdisciplines.
Journal ArticleDOI

Multilocus Sequence Typing System for the Endosymbiont Wolbachia pipientis

TL;DR: A multilocus sequence typing (MLST) scheme as a universal genotyping tool for Wolbachia was developed and was shown to be effective for detecting diversity among strains within a single host species, as well as for identifying closely related strains found in different arthropod hosts.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mom knows best: the universality of maternal microbial transmission.

TL;DR: Evidence for microbial maternal transmission is increasingly widespread across animals, and collective knowledge compels a paradigm shift—one in which maternal transmission of microbes advances from a taxonomically specialized phenomenon to a universal one in animals.
Journal ArticleDOI

Wolbachia-induced incompatibility precedes other hybrid incompatibilities in Nasonia.

TL;DR: The results indicate that Wolbachia-induced reproductive isolation occurred in the early stages of speciation in this system, before the evolution of other postmating isolating mechanisms (for example, hybrid inviability and hybrid sterility).
