Canalized gene expression during development mediates caste differentiation in ants

2022-03-16

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>Ant colonies are higher-level organisms consisting of specialized reproductive and non-reproductive individuals that differentiate early in development, similar to germ-soma segregation in bilateral Metazoa. Analogous to diverging cell lines, developmental differentiation of individual ants has often been considered in epigenetic terms, but the sets of genes that determine caste phenoty...
