The chemosensory system of the clonal raider ant larva

Daniel Parviz Hejazi Pastor, Leonora Olivos-Cisneros, Alejandra Hurtado-Giraldo, Anurag Sharma, Patrick Piekarski, Giacomo L Glotzer, Daniel J. C. Kronauer

This study characterizes the chemosensory system of clonal raider ant larvae, identifying odorant and ionotropic receptor neurons and their projections in the central nervous system.

Transcriptional Interference Gates Monogenic Odorant Receptor Expression in Ants

Giacomo L Glotzer, Daniel Parviz Hejazi Pastor, Daniel J. C. Kronauer

The paper shows that transcriptional interference, including non-canonical readthrough and bidirectional promoters, suppresses upstream OR genes while allowing single OR expression in ants.
