Our study highlights how the emergence and elaboration of eusociality in termites was accompanied by major domain rearrangements @aaragret @DrDohmain @MarkChHarrison @bornberglab 👉ow.ly/9E4k50RNL1U
Major changes in domain arrangements are associated with the evolution of termites

Major changes in domain arrangements are associated with the evolution of termites

Abstract. Domains as functional protein units and their rearrangements along the phylogeny can shed light on the functional changes of proteomes associated

One important step to uncover a source of mitochondrial mutations: the older the somatic cell/oocyte/organism, the more A>G mutations on a single-stranded heavy chain. We propose that A>G is a hallmark of age-associated oxidative damage. (1/3)
