genes that manifest themselves differently, or are differentially expressed,
between queens and workers, the team looked for
genes with similar
expression patterns across samples that may be involved
in maintaining the structural, behavioural and functional differences observed
between queens and workers.
This information is not only important because it can now help scientists try to understand how the differences
between queen and worker may arise through interactions among
genes, but also for the evolution of ants, and
in the evolution of
gene expression more generally.

between queens and workers result from the differential
expression of evolutionary conserved sets of
genes, or
genes that are basically expressed
in the same manner throughout evolution among all ant species.
