Abstract Background Given its sequenced genome and efficient systemic RNA interference response, the red flour beetle Tribolium castaneum is a model organism well suited for reverse genetics. Even...
The genome of the model beetle and pest Tribolium castaneum (2008)
Gibbs, Richard A, Weinstock, George M, Brown, Susan J, Denell, Robin, Beeman, Richard W, ...
Tribolium castaneum is a member of the most species-rich eukaryotic order, a powerful model organism for the study of generalized insect development, and an important pest of stored agricultural...
Analysis of repetitive DNA distribution patterns in the Tribolium castaneumgenome (2008)
Wang, Suzhi, Lorenzen, Marcé D, Beeman, Richard W, Brown, Susan J
Abstract Background Insect genomes vary widely in size, a large fraction of which is often devoted to repetitive DNA. Re-association kinetics indicate that up to 42% of the genome of the red flour...

Multiple alleles at the black locus in Tribolium castaneum (1985)
Beeman, Richard W., Nanis, Suzanne M.
Two alleles at the black locus in the red flour beetle Tribolium castaneum (Herbst) have been resolved. Dusky (bd), the lighter-colored of the two, is dominant to tawny (bt), the darker. Both are...
Golden (g), a spontaneous mutation affecting scale color in the Indianmeal moth, Plodia interpunctelia (Hubner), is described. The golden gene is a simple Mendelian autosomal recessive. In affected...
Laccase 2 is the phenoloxidase gene required for beetle cuticle tanning
Arakane, Yasuyuki, Muthukrishnan, Subbaratnam, Beeman, Richard W., Kanost, Michael R., Kramer, Karl J.
Cuticle tanning (or sclerotization and pigmentation) in invertebrates involves the oxidative conjugation of proteins, which renders them insoluble and hardens and darkens the color of the...
Lorenzen, Marcé D., Doyungan, Zaldy, Savard, Joel, Snow, Kathy, Crumly, Lindsey R., Shippy, Teresa D., ...
A genetic linkage map was constructed in a backcross family of the red flour beetle, Tribolium castaneum, based largely on sequences from bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) ends and untranslated...
Lorenzen, Marcé D, Brown, Susan J, Denell, Robin E, Beeman, Richard W
The use of eye-color mutants and their corresponding genes as scorable marker systems has facilitated the development of transformation technology in Drosophila and other insects. In the red flour...
The Tribolium castaneum Ortholog of Sex combs reduced Controls Dorsal Ridge Development
Shippy, Teresa D., Rogers, Carmelle D., Beeman, Richard W., Brown, Susan J., Denell, Robin E.
In insects, the boundary between the embryonic head and thorax is formed by the dorsal ridge, a fused structure composed of portions of the maxillary and labial segments. However, the mechanisms that...

Shippy, Teresa D., Ronshaugen, Matthew, Cande, Jessica, He, JianPing, Beeman, Richard W., Levine, Michael, ...
The remarkable conservation of Hox clusters is an accepted but little understood principle of biology. Some organizational constraints have been identified for vertebrate Hox clusters, but most of...
Analysis of repetitive DNA distribution patterns in the Tribolium castaneum genome
Wang, Suzhi, Lorenzen, Marcé D, Beeman, Richard W, Brown, Susan J
Approximately 30% of the Tribolium castaneum genome is comprised of repetitive DNA. These repeats accumulate in certain regions in the assembled T. castaneum genome, these regions might be derived...
Functional specialization among insect chitinase family genes revealed by RNA interference
Zhu, Qingsong, Arakane, Yasuyuki, Beeman, Richard W., Kramer, Karl J., Muthukrishnan, Subbaratnam
The biological functions of individual members of the large family of chitinase-like proteins from the red flour beetle, Tribolium castaneum (Tc), were examined by using gene-specific RNAi. One...
The maternal-effect, selfish genetic element Medea is associated with a composite Tc1 transposon
Lorenzen, Marcé D., Gnirke, Andreas, Margolis, Jonathan, Garnes, Jeffrey, Campbell, Margie, Stuart, Jeffrey J., ...
Maternal-Effect Dominant Embryonic Arrest (“Medea”) factors are selfish nuclear elements that combine maternal-lethal and zygotic-rescue activities to gain a postzygotic survival advantage. We...
