The paper identifies transcriptional start sites and candidate enhancers regulating worker metamorphosis in honeybees using CAGE, revealing lineage-specific regulatory relationships.

This study generates a new genome assembly for Japanese-reared naked mole rats, identifies novel gene models and genomic variations, and provides functional annotations.

The paper identifies four genes involved in the formation of asymmetrical inner teeth in the mandibles of Zophobas atratus beetles, with mlpt showing a strong effect on right mandible morphology.

This study identifies gene mutations associated with pyrethroid resistance in bed bugs by comparing genomes of resistant and susceptible strains.

The paper reports the long-read genome assembly of the Japanese strain of Copidosoma floridanum, identifying genomic differences between Japanese and US strains that may underlie caste determination.

This study uses meta-analysis of public transcriptomes to identify molecular mechanisms underlying density-dependent plasticity in aphids and locusts.

This study analyzes the genome, transcriptome, and methylome of Reticulitermes speratus, showing gene duplication contributes to caste-specific functions and social evolution.

This paper presents the de novo genome and transcriptome of the Japanese rhinoceros beetle Trypoxylus dichotomus, providing comprehensive genomic resources for evolutionary and functional studies.
