Epigenetic (re)programming of caste-specific behavior in the ant Camponotus floridanus
Open accessAbstract
Epigenetic control of caste-specific foraging: In carpenter ants, separate behavioral classes, known as castes, are determined by the epigenetic regulation of genes. Simola et al. treated ants of different castes with drugs that affected histone acetylation. Reducing histone acetylation stimulated scouting and foraging behavior. The foraging and scouting behaviors of young ants were permanently changed by directly injecting their brains with histone acetylation inhibitors. Science , this issue p. 10.1126/science.aac6633

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?
In the citing paper
“Another form of environmentally induced chromatin regulation is found in social insects such as the carpenter ant Camponotus floridanus, in which the balance between morphologically distinct worker castes depends on the levels of histone acetylation, which may be influenced by feeding behaviour 82 .”
From Advances in epigenetics link genetics to the environment and disease (2019) · cites this paper as [82]
In the citing paper
“Comparisons between individuals from different castes have revealed that they have caste-specific DNA methylation and H3K27ac patterns that are functionally important for their behavior (Simola et al., 2016; Yan et al., 2015).”
From The Aging Epigenome (2016) · cites this paper as Simola et al., 2016

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.
