Genome composition, caste, and molecular evolution in eusocial insects

Year: 2013

Type: letter

Abstract: Kent et al. (1) recently investigated genome evolution in the honey bee and proposed “strong links between recombination, biased gene conversion, GC-content evolution, and worker behavior.” However, we feel these connections may be more nuanced than suggested.
