Epigenetics: the making of ant castes.

Alexandra Chittka1, Yannick Wurm, Lars Chittka.   

Abstract

Social insects represent a unique model for how the same genome can give rise to entirely different phenotypes - soldiers, common labourers, and queens. New research on ants and honeybees points to DNA methylation as a crucial factor in determining the caste of a developing individual.
