This study uses high-fidelity long-read metagenomics to reconstruct genomes of dominant termite gut bacteria and reveals their lineage-specific metabolic functions.

The study finds that Blattabacterium was lost ten times independently in three cockroach families, with some losses possibly compensated by Wolbachia associations.

This study links rapid termite diversification to increased transposable element activity across two evolutionary waves.

This study investigates the evolution of sex determination in termites using genome assemblies, finding undifferentiated sex chromosomes and varying roles of the doublesex gene.

The paper identifies genetic changes in odorant receptors and other genes associated with termite sociality across multiple species.

This study sequenced 47 termite genomes, revealing genomic expansions linked to dietary evolution and ecological success in Termitidae.
