Evolution of the sex-determination gene Doublesex within the termite lineage

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part D: Genomics and Proteomics
ABSTRACT The molecular mechanism of sex determination has long been considered conserved in insects. However, recent studies of hemimetabolous insects have challenged this notion. One notable example is termites. In Reticulitermes speratus , a homolog of sex determination gene,

Candidate target genes of the male-specific expressed Doublesex in the termite Reticulitermes speratus.

PLoS ONE
Eusocial insects such as termites, ants, bees, and wasps exhibit a reproductive division of labor. The developmental regulation of reproductive organ (ovaries and testes) is crucial for distinguishing between reproductive and sterile castes.

Challenges in developing a split drive targeting dsx for the genetic control of the invasive malaria vector Anopheles stephensi

Parasites & Vectors
Background Anopheles stephensi is a competent malaria vector mainly present in southern Asia and the Arabian Peninsula. Since 2012, it has invaded several countries of eastern Africa, creating an emerging risk of urban transmission.
