A single P element insert in Drosophila melanogaster, called P[ry+ delta 2-3](99B), is
described that caused mobilization of other elements at unusually high frequencies, yet is itself …

Tribolium castaneum is a member of the most species-rich eukaryotic order, a powerful model
organism for the study of generalized insect development, and an important pest of stored …

We describe the draft genome of the microcrustacean Daphnia pulex, which is only 200
megabases and contains at least 30,907 genes. The high gene count is a consequence of an …

Bacterial endosymbionts of insects have long been implicated in the phenomenon of cytoplasmic
incompatibility, in which certain crosses between symbiont-infected individuals lead to …

The insect chemoreceptor superfamily in Drosophila melanogaster is predicted to consist of
62 odorant receptor (Or) and 68 gustatory receptor (Gr) proteins, encoded by families of 60 …

We used bioinformatic approaches to identify a total of 276 G protein–coupled receptors (GPCRs)
from the Anopheles gambiae genome. These include GPCRs that are likely to play …

The honey bee genome sequence reveals a remarkable expansion of the insect odorant
receptor (Or) family relative to the repertoires of the flies Drosophila melanogaster and …

Mariners are a widespread and diverse family of animal transposons. Extremely similar
mariners of the irritans subfamily are present in the genomes of three divergent insect host …

As an obligatory parasite of humans, the body louse (Pediculus humanus humanus) is an
important vector for human diseases, including epidemic typhus, relapsing fever, and trench …

We describe here a family of P elements that we refer to as type I repressors. These elements
are identified by their repressor functions and their lack of any deletion within the first two-…
