Age- and caste-independent piRNAs in the germline and miRNA profiles linked to caste and fecundity in the ant <i>Temnothorax rugatulus</i>

2023-05-22

Abstract excerpt

Social insects are models for phenotypic plasticity: the generation of different phenotypes from the same genotype. Ant queens and workers differ not only in their morphology and behaviour, but also in their fecundity and lifespan, which is often several times higher in queens. However, the gene regulatory mechanisms underlying these differences are not yet well understood. Since ant queens can live and reproduce...
