Correction: Genomic architecture and evolutionary antagonism drive allelic expression bias in the social supergene of red fire ants.
Martinez-Ruiz, C; Pracana, R; Stolle, E; Paris, CI; Nichols, RA; Wurm, Y (eLife, 2020-11-09) -
Degenerative expansion of a young supergene.
Stolle, E; Pracana, R; Howard, P; Paris, CI; Brown, SJ; Castillo-Carrillo, C; Rossiter, SJ; Wurm, Y (Oxford University Press, 2018-12-21)Long term suppression of recombination ultimately leads to gene loss, as demonstrated by the depauperate Y and W chromosomes of long-established pairs of XY and ZW chromosomes. The young social supergene of the Solenopsis ... -
The fire ant social chromosome supergene variant Sb shows low diversity but high divergence from SB
Pracana, R; Priyam, A; Levantis, I; Nichols, RA; Wurm, Y (2017-06) -
Fire ant social chromosomes: Differences in number, sequence and expression of odorant binding proteins.
Pracana, R; Levantis, I; Martínez-Ruiz, C; Stolle, E; Priyam, A; Wurm, Y (2017-09)Variation in social behavior is common yet our knowledge of the mechanisms underpinning its evolution is limited. The fire ant Solenopsis invicta provides a textbook example of a Mendelian element controlling social ... -
Genomic architecture and evolutionary antagonism drive allelic expression bias in the social supergene of red fire ants
Martinez-Ruiz, C; Pracana, R; Stolle, E; Paris, CI; Nichols, RA; Wurm, Y (2020) -
Individual-based Modeling of Genome Evolution in Haplodiploid Organisms
Pracana, R; Burns, R; Hammond, RL; Haller, BC; Wurm, Y (Oxford University Press, 2022)Ants, bees, wasps, bark beetles, and other species have haploid males and diploid females. Although such haplodiploid species play key ecological roles and are threatened by environmental changes, no general framework ... -
Recurring adaptive introgression of a supergene variant that determines social organization
Stolle, E; Pracana, R; Lopez-Osorio, F; Priebe, MK; Hernandez, GL; Castillo-Carrillo, C; Arias, MC; Paris, CI; Bollazzi, M; Priyam, A (Nature Research, 2022-03)Introgression has been proposed as an essential source of adaptive genetic variation. However, a key barrier to adaptive introgression is that recombination can break down combinations of alleles that underpin many traits. ...
