Journal ArticleDOI

Phenomics: the next challenge.

TL;DR: Phenomics should be recognized and pursued as an independent discipline to enable the development and adoption of high-throughput and high-dimensional phenotyping.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Atlantic salmon genome provides insights into rediploidization

TL;DR: It is found that genes that were retained as duplicates after the teleost-specific whole-genome duplication 320 million years ago were not more likely to be retained after the Ss4R, and that the duplicate retention was not influenced to a great extent by the nature of the predicted protein interactions of the gene products.
Journal ArticleDOI

The gene csd is the primary signal for sexual development in the honeybee and encodes an SR-type protein.

TL;DR: Results establish csd as a primary signal that governs sexual development by its allelic composition, andStructural similarity of csd with tra genes of Dipteran insects suggests some functional relation of what would otherwise appear to be unrelated sex-determination mechanisms.
Journal ArticleDOI

Social exploitation of vitellogenin.

TL;DR: It is shown that vitellogenin is a source for the proteinaceous royal jelly that is produced by the hive bees, which suggests that the evolution of a brood-rearing worker class and a specialized forager class in an advanced eusocial insect society has been directed by an alternative utilization of yolk protein.
