This study examines the expression and functional roles of Vasa, Piwi, and Dnmt1 in gametogenesis of Oncopeltus fasciatus, revealing differences in their expression patterns and functional requirements compared to other organisms.

This study investigates the role of Dnmt1 in oocyte production in Bemisia tabaci by knocking it down and analyzing gene expression and methylation patterns, finding specific effects on the Wnt pathway.

The study shows Dnmt1 knockdown in Oncopeltus fasciatus testes reduces spermatocysts and causes differential transcription, but not clear meiotic pathway disruption.

The paper examines gene expression and DNA methylation changes in male burying beetles during parental care, finding that gene expression varies with behavioral state and social context, while DNA methylation does not correlate with gene expression changes.

The paper investigates the transcriptional basis of variation in parental provisioning behavior in burying beetles and finds that quantitative behavioral variation reflects many small transcriptional differences rather than a few major genes.
