A stable genomic source of P element transposase in Drosophila melanogaster.
HM Robertson, CR Preston, RW Phillis… - Genetics, 1988 - academic.oup.com
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 …

The Ecoresponsive Genome of Daphnia pulex
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 …

16S rRNA phylogenetic analysis of the bacterial endosymbionts associated with cytoplasmic incompatibility in insects.
…, AM Colbert, TL Karr, HM Robertson - Proceedings of the …, 1992 - National Acad Sciences
Bacterial endosymbionts of insects have long been implicated in the phenomenon of cytoplasmic
incompatibility, in which certain crosses between symbiont-infected individuals lead to …

Molecular evolution of the insect chemoreceptor gene superfamily in Drosophila melanogaster
HM Robertson, CG Warr… - Proceedings of the …, 2003 - National Acad Sciences
The insect chemoreceptor superfamily in Drosophila melanogaster is predicted to consist of

G Protein-Coupled Receptors in Anopheles gambiae
…, MA Chrystal, A Cravchik, FH Collins, HM Robertson… - Science, 2002 - science.org
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 chemoreceptor superfamily in the honey bee, Apis mellifera: expansion of the odorant, but not gustatory, receptor family
HM Robertson, KW Wanner - Genome research, 2006 - genome.cshlp.org
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 …

A purified mariner transposase is sufficient to mediate transposition in vitro.
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 …

Genome sequences of the human body louse and its primary endosymbiont provide insights into the permanent parasitic lifestyle
…, JM Clark, SH Lee, HM Robertson… - Proceedings of the …, 2010 - National Acad Sciences
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 …

Type I repressors of P element mobility.
…, NA Nassif, RW Phillis, WK Benz, HM Robertson… - Genetics, 1993 - academic.oup.com
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-…
