Getting a buzz out of the bee genome

Michael Ashburner, Charalambos P Kyriacou Genome Biology 2006, 7:239 (26 October 2006)

The honey bee Apis mellifera displays the most complex behavior of any insect. This, and its utility to humans, makes it a fascinating object of study for biologists. Such studies are now further enabled by the release of the honey-bee genome sequence.

Caste- and development-associated gene expression in a lower termite

Michael E Scharf, Dancia Wu-Scharf, Barry R Pittendrigh, Gary W Bennett Genome Biology 2003, 4:R62 (26 September 2003)

Social insects such as termites express dramatic polyphenism (the occurrence of multiple forms in a species on the basis of differential gene expression) both in association with caste differentiation and between castes after differentiation. We have used cDNA macroarrays to compare gene expression between polyphenic castes and intermediary developmental stages of the termite Reticulitermes flavipes.

Evaluation of differential gene expression during behavioral development in the honeybee using microarrays and northern blots

Robert Kucharski, Ryszard Maleszka Genome Biology 2002, 3:research0007-research0007.9 (14 January 2002)

DNA arrays have been used to explore the dynamics of gene expression in honeybees during distinct behavioral stages of adult development and during drug-induced behavioral modifications.
