Alternative splicing and trans-splicing events revealed by analysis of the Bombyx mori transcriptome [PDF]
Alternative splicing and trans-splicing events have not been systematically studied in the silkworm Bombyx mori. Here, the silkworm transcriptome was analyzed by RNA-seq.

The intersex (ix) gene acts in concert with doublesex (dsx) at the end of the sex determination hierarchy to control somatic sexual differentiation in Drosophila melanogaster.

By combining computer vision and morphometrics on museum specimens, we show that hindwing tail shape and colour patterns evolved in concert across swallowtails. Long‐tailed species display contrasted stripes and marginal spots, suggesting coevolution of deflective traits promoted by natural selection by predators.

Renal Subcapsular xenografing of human fetal external genital tissue - A new model for investigating urethral development. [PDF]
In this paper, we introduce our novel renal subcapsular xenograft model for the study of human penile urethral and clitoral development. We grafted fifteen intact fetal penes and clitorides 8-11 weeks fetal age under the renal capsules of gonadectomized ...

Modeling Control of Invasive Fire Ants by Gene Drive
The fire ant Solenopsis invicta is characterized by exceptional invasive capabilities, rendering conventional control ineffective. Here, we explore the use of homing suppression gene drive in fire ants by developing a spatially explicit model. Overall, these results show that target population suppression requires an extended time scale, but that gene ...

Neuropeptide F regulates courtship in Drosophila through a male-specific neuronal circuit. [PDF]
Male courtship is provoked by perception of a potential mate. In addition, the likelihood and intensity of courtship are influenced by recent mating experience, which affects sexual drive.

Analysis of the genome of the New Zealand giant collembolan (Holacanthella duospinosa) sheds light on hexapod evolution [PDF]
Background: The New Zealand collembolan genus Holacanthella contains the largest species of springtails (Collembola) in the world. Using Illumina technology we have sequenced and assembled a draft genome and transcriptome from Holacanthella duospinosa ...

We assembled four Cardinium hertigii draft genomes: cEina3 causes cytoplasmic incompatibility, cEhis1 induces parthenogenesis, cEper2 is associated with parthenogenesis, and cEina2 infects asymptomatically. All four strains are closely related and hosted by Encarsia parasitoid wasps, but key differences exist, including their metabolic potential and ...

Female-to-male sex reversal in mice caused by transgenic overexpression of Dmrt1 [PDF]
Genes related to Dmrt1, which encodes a DNA-binding DM domain transcription factor, act as triggers for primary sex determination in a broad range of metazoan species.

Abstract This study investigates whether size‐selective harvesting induced heritable changes reflected in epigenetic and reproductive molecular markers in zebrafish (Danio rerio), thereby indicating potential evolutionary responses. We used an experimental harvest model where zebrafish populations were subjected to five generations of size‐selective ...
