Smith C, Helms Cahan S, Kemena C, Brady S, Yang W, Bornberg-Bauer E, et al.
Mol Biol Evol . 2015 Aug; 32(11):2919-31. PMID: 26226984
A central goal of biology is to uncover the genetic basis for the origin of new phenotypes. A particularly effective approach is to examine the genomic architecture of species that...

Helmkampf M, Cash E, Gadau J
Mol Biol Evol . 2014 Nov; 32(2):456-71. PMID: 25425561
Desaturase genes are essential for biological processes, including lipid metabolism, cell signaling, and membrane fluidity regulation. Insect desaturases are particularly interesting for their role in chemical communication, and potential contribution...

Schwarz C, Helmkampf M
Zootaxa . 2014 May; (3797):120-9. PMID: 24870861
A conspicuous new species of praying mantid, Mythomantis serrata sp. nov., from the Malaysian part of Borneo is described and illustrated. A key to the three known species of the...

Nesnidal M, Helmkampf M, Meyer A, Witek A, Bruchhaus I, Ebersberger I, et al.
BMC Evol Biol . 2013 Nov; 13:253. PMID: 24238092
Background: Within the complex metazoan phylogeny, the relationships of the three lophophorate lineages, ectoprocts, brachiopods and phoronids, are particularly elusive. To shed further light on this issue, we present phylogenomic...

Simola D, Wissler L, Donahue G, Waterhouse R, Helmkampf M, Roux J, et al.
Genome Res . 2013 May; 23(8):1235-47. PMID: 23636946
Genomes of eusocial insects code for dramatic examples of phenotypic plasticity and social organization. We compared the genomes of seven ants, the honeybee, and various solitary insects to examine whether...

Nesnidal M, Helmkampf M, Bruchhaus I, El-Matbouli M, Hausdorf B
PLoS One . 2013 Feb; 8(1):e54576. PMID: 23382916
Myxozoa are microscopic obligate endoparasites with complex live cycles. Representatives are Myxobolus cerebralis, the causative agent of whirling disease in salmonids, and the enigmatic "orphan worm" Buddenbrockia plumatellae parasitizing in...

Wissler L, Gadau J, Simola D, Helmkampf M, Bornberg-Bauer E
Genome Biol Evol . 2013 Jan; 5(2):439-55. PMID: 23348040
Orphan genes are defined as genes that lack detectable similarity to genes in other species and therefore no clear signals of common descent (i.e., homology) can be inferred. Orphans are...

Nesnidal M, Helmkampf M, Bruchhaus I, Hausdorf B
BMC Genomics . 2011 Nov; 12:572. PMID: 22111761
Background: The phylogenetic relationships of the lophophorate lineages, ectoprocts, brachiopods and phoronids, within Lophotrochozoa are still controversial. We sequenced an additional mitochondrial genome of the most species-rich lophophorate lineage, the...

Gadau J, Helmkampf M, Nygaard S, Roux J, Simola D, Smith C, et al.
Trends Genet . 2011 Oct; 28(1):14-21. PMID: 21982512
Ants (Hymenoptera, Formicidae) represent one of the most successful eusocial taxa in terms of both their geographic distribution and species number. The publication of seven ant genomes within the past...

Suen G, Teiling C, Li L, Holt C, Abouheif E, Bornberg-Bauer E, et al.
PLoS Genet . 2011 Feb; 7(2):e1002007. PMID: 21347285
Leaf-cutter ants are one of the most important herbivorous insects in the Neotropics, harvesting vast quantities of fresh leaf material. The ants use leaves to cultivate a fungus that serves...
