Structural and transcriptional features of<i>Bombus terrestris</i>satellite DNA and their potential involvement in the differentiation process
Bibliographic record
Abstract
A unique satellite DNA family was characterized in the genome of the bumble bee, Bombus terrestris. Sequence analysis revealed that it contains two wide palindromes of about 160 and 190 bp, respectively, that span 75% of the repeated unit. One feature of this satellite DNA is that it accounts for different amounts of genomic DNA in males and females. The DNA curvature and bendability were determined by migration on PAGE and by computer analysis. It has been correlated with the presence of dA/dT stretches repeated in phase with the helix turn and with the presence of the deformable dinucleotide CA-TG embedded in some of these A-T-rich regions. Transcription of the satellite DNA was also analyzed by Northern blot hybridization and RT-PCR. Multimeric transcripts spanning several satellite DNA units were found in RNA samples from males, workers, and queens. These transcripts resulted from a specific transcription occurring on one DNA strand in the embryos or on both DNA strands in imagoes. The involvement of DNA curvature in the organization of the satellite DNA and the function of the satellite transcripts is discussed.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
