The most common phenotype induced by the endosymbiont Wolbachia in in-sects is cytoplasmic incompatibility,where none or fewer progenies can be produced when Wolbachia-infected males mate with uninfected females.This ...
The Argonaute protein family is a highly conserved group of proteins, which have been implicated in RNA silencing in both plants and animals. Here, four members of the Argonaute family were systemically identified bas...
