“…Cardoen et al () found further overlap from 2D‐DIGE against the gene screens of Grozinger et al (; n = 3 genes) and Cardoen et al (; n = 31 genes), strongly suggesting that several gene‐level components of the regulatory networks are directly connected to the protein level above it. Additional studies on protein‐level interactions that mediate sterility are necessary to identify hub proteins implicated in sterility (Duncan, Hyink, & Dearden, ; Ronai, Oldroyd et al, ), caste differentiation (Begna, Han, Feng, Fang, & Li, ; Li et al, ), queen reproductive development (Pang et al, ), worker embryogenesis (Fang et al, ; Zheng et al, ), age‐dependent division of labor (Huo et al, ), and other aspects of social foraging (the proboscis extension reflex; da Silva Menegasso et al, ). Where available, information from these networks should serve to identify hub proteins and other topological features that, similarly to the gene networks, can be used to detail ideas on their origins and activity.…”
