Genomic signatures of evolutionary transitions from solitary to group living
Abstract
For bees, many roads lead to social harmony: Eusociality, where workers sacrifice their reproductive rights to support the colony, has evolved repeatedly and represents the most evolved form of social evolution in insects. Kapheim et al. looked across the genomes of 10 bee species with varying degrees of sociality to determine the underlying genomic contributions. No one genomic path led to eusociality, but similarities across genomes were seen in features such as increases in gene regulation and methylation. It also seems that selection pressures relaxed after the emergence of complex sociality. Science , this issue p. 1139

In the citing paper
“The result from Kapheim et al. (88) gives the first glimpse of a special signature tied to GRNs for social behavior, but this is intriguingly reminiscent of a cis-regulatory signature seen in developmental studies in Drosophila.”

In the citing paper
“These finding and those in refs. 89–91 support the prediction that changes in gene regulation are key features of the evolutionary transition from solitary to social life, at least in the social insects.”

In the citing paper
“Kapheim et al. (88) bioinformatically detected greater TF binding site presence (reflecting stronger binding of TFs) in gene regulatory regions from social bees compared to orthologs from solitary bee species.”
From Behavior-related gene regulatory networks: A new level of organization in the brain (2020) · cites this paper as [88]
In the citing paper
“This result suggested that gene regulation in social bees has increased capacity and complexity relative to nonsocial bees, encoded in the DNA.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
