Key Finding
Intriguingly, sSPTs exhibit a relatively high expression level for Hymenoptera-restricted genes and a high mutation load, suggesting that the special meiosis II during spermatogenesis in the honeybee is accompanied by phylogenetically young gene activities.
Countstar Connection
Countstar Rigel S2 served as the instrument for flow-cytometry cell assessment in sperm samples during quality assessment in the 2023 PLoS genetics study.
