In the wake of constant improvements in sequencing technologies, numerous insect
genomes have been sequenced. Currently, 1219 insect genome‐sequencing projects have …

Although the application of population and evolutionary genetic theory and methods to
address issues of conservation relevance has a long history, the formalization of …

We present the draft 273 Mb genome of the migratory monarch butterfly (Danaus plexippus)
and a set of 16,866 protein-coding genes. Orthology properties suggest that the Lepidoptera …

Here we report the genome sequence of the honeybee Apis mellifera, a key model for social
behaviour and essential to global ecology through pollination. Compared with other …

Chemoreception is a biological process essential for the survival of animals, as it allows the
recognition of important volatile cues for the detection of food, egg-laying substrates, mates …

The InParanoid project gathers proteomes of completely sequenced eukaryotic species plus
Escherichia coli and calculates pairwise ortholog relationships among them. The new …

Here we report the genome sequence of the honeybee Apis mellifera, a key model for social
behaviour and essential to global ecology through pollination. Compared with other …

Transgenic crops producing insecticidal toxins from Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) are
commercially successful in reducing pest damage, yet knowledge of resistance mechanisms …

We present a de novo assembly of a eukaryote transcriptome using 454 pyrosequencing
data. The Glanville fritillary butterfly (Melitaea cinxia; Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae) is a …

SilkDB is an open-accessibility database and powerful platform that provides
comprehensive information on the silkworm (Bombyx mori) genome. Since SilkDB 2.0 was …
