Genes associated with ant social behavior show distinct transcriptional and evolutionary patterns

Genes associated with ant social behavior show distinct transcriptional and evolutionary patterns

Studies of the genetic basis and evolution of complex social behavior emphasize either conserved or novel genes. To begin to reconcile these perspectives, we studied how the evolutionary conservation of genes associated with social behavior depends on regulatory context, and whether genes associated...
