t was recently shown that silencing DNMT3 expression in newly hatched honeybee larvae mimics the effect of royal jelly, namely, the larvae destined to become workers develop into queens with fully developed ovaries [
This answered my earlier question. I didn't realize that things like this actually occurred.
-
There are numerous behavioural, physiological, and anatomical differences between queens (which can lay up to 2,000 eggs per day)
It shocks me that queens can lay this many eggs a day. I believed that the other worker bees helped to lay some eggs to add to the colony.
-
Royal Jelly Proteins, which are thought to be crucial in reproductive maturation
This could possibly also determine the full on sex of other bees in the colony, like determining the future queen of the colony.

similar reversible changes to the DNA
Would this also be able to be used to make cures for chronic diseases such as Lupus or Hypothyroidism?

Mutations can occur in both cis-elements and trans-factors; both can result in altered patterns of gene expression
With my project, I discuss mutations to the dog breeds through evolution, would this also be because of altered patterns of gene expression?

dominant allele of a gene, every person with that allele will show symptoms of the disease
Could the mutation also become a new aspect of the pedigree and develop later in the pedigree?
-
proband
If the proband were to be the product of a mutation, is there a possibility that the mutated gene could be carried throughout the pedigree?

TE elements have acquired mutations that render them unable to transpose
At any point, will these mutations have a negative connotation from being unable to transpose? Will they ever need to transpose?

rejoining the coding sections or exons, of the mRNA, is called splicing
Can splicing also be used to help repair mutations that have already been created? I feel like more information on that could help.

DNA topoisomerases are, therefore, essential in the unwinding, replication
Would DNA topoisomerases be useful in other types of DNA replication? I feel that more information on them would be very insightful.

comparing species to understand evolution
Would this possibly be able to better understand the evolution of dog breeds? Like the evolution of the physical appearance of certain high demand breeds.
