Nucleotide Distribution Patterns in Insect Genomes [PDF]
Systemix Reports 1, Feb 18, 2007, 2007 This work analyzed genome-wide nucleotide distribution patterns in ten insect genomes. Two internal measures were applied: (i) GC variation and (ii) third codon nucleotide preference. Although the genome size and overall GC level did not show any correlation with insect order, the internal measures usually displayed higher levels of consistency.

Unique Temporal Expression of Triplicated Long-Wavelength Opsins in Developing Butterfly Eyes
Frontiers in Neural Circuits, 2017 Following gene duplication events, the expression patterns of the resulting gene copies can often diverge both spatially and temporally. Here we report on gene duplicates that are expressed in distinct but overlapping patterns, and which exhibit ...

Nature, 1878 I AM able to confirm the accounts given by Mr. Simson in your last number as to the probability of the hearing of insects. When travelling on the River Magdalena, New Granada, in 1861, the mode of which is by a long boat, arched over with bamboo, on which the sailors (bogas) passing from one extremity to the other, propel it with long poles, hugging ...
