Journal ArticleDOI

The genome of Tetranychus urticae reveals herbivorous pest adaptations

Miodrag Grbic, +60 more
- 24 Nov 2011 - 
TL;DR: The Tetranychus urticae genome is the smallest known arthropod genome as discussed by the authors, which represents the first complete chelicerate genome for a pest and has been annotated with genes associated with feeding on different hosts.
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

On the presence and role of human gene-body DNA methylation

TL;DR: A model holds that the repression of intragenic transcription by gene- body methylation is largely epiphenomenal, and suggests that gene-body methylation levels are predominantly shaped via the accessibility of the DNA to methylating enzyme complexes.
Journal ArticleDOI

DNA methylation is widespread and associated with differential gene expression in castes of the honeybee, Apis mellifera.

TL;DR: The results highlight the potential significance of epigenetic modifications, such as DNA methylation, in developmental processes in social insects and provide fertile ground for future studies of phenotypic plasticity and genomic imprinting.
