TRANSCRIPTOMIC ANALYSES OF THE TERMITE, CRYPTOTERMES SECUNDUS, REVEAL A GENE NETWORK UNDERLYING A LONG LIFESPAN AND HIGH FECUNDITY

Transcriptomic analyses of the termite, Cryptotermes secundus, reveal a gene network underlying a long lifespan and high fecundity

Lin et al.use transcriptomics in the social termite, Cryptotermes secundus, to investigate potential pathways glycerin blunt tip underlying the long lifespan and high fecundity of insect queens.They find a module of coexpressed genes in queens that is enriched for pathways involved in fecundity, juvenile hormone signaling, and chemical communicatio

The single-dose Janssen Ad26.COV2.S COVID-19 vaccine elicited robust and persistent anti-spike IgG antibody responses in a 12-month Ugandan cohort

IntroductionThe study investigation examined the immune response to the Janssen Ad26.COV2.S COVID-19 vaccine within a Ugandan cohort, specifically targeting antibodies directed against spike (S) and nucleocapsid (N) proteins.We aimed to examine the durability and robustness of the induced antibody response while also assessing occurrences of breakt
