Insects | Free Full-Text | Novel Insights into the circRNA-Modulated Developmental Mechanism of Western Honey Bee Larval Guts
1. Introduction As a representative social insect with crucial ecological, economic and scientific value, the western honey bee (Apis mellifera) is widely reared and applied in the apicultural industry in considerable countries around the world [1]. In addition, A. mellifera has been applied as a research model for development, social…

A molecular atlas reveals the tri-sectional spinning mechanism of spider dragline silk
Chromosomal-scale genome assembly and full spidroin gene set of T. clavata To explore dragline silk production in T. clavata, we sought to assemble a high-quality genome of this species. Thus, we first performed a cytogenetic analysis of T. clavata captured from the wild in Dali City, Yunnan Province, China, and…

BmPMFBP1 regulates the development of eupyrene sperm in the silkworm, Bombyx mori
This article was originally published here PLoS Genet. 2022 Mar 21;18(3):e1010131. doi: 10.1371/journal.pgen.1010131. Online ahead of print. ABSTRACT Sperm deliver the male complement of DNA to the ovum, and thus play a key role in sexual reproduction. Accordingly, spermatogenesis has outstanding significance in fields as disparate as infertility treatments and…
Butterfly eyespots evolved via cooption of an ancestral gene-regulatory network that also patterns antennae, legs, and wings
Although the hypothesis of gene-regulatory network (GRN) cooption is a plausible model to explain the origin of morphological novelties (1), there has been limited empirical evidence to show that this mechanism led to the origin of any novel trait. Several hypotheses have been proposed for the origin of butterfly eyespots,…
