Background Genome sequencing projects have been completed for a number of varieties representing four highly diverged holometabolous insect orders, Diptera, Hymenoptera, Coleoptera, and Lepidoptera. and genome sequence of pointed to considerable conserved synteny including conserved gene order in most chromosomes. Only a few rearrangements, including three inversions, three translocations, and two fission/fusion events were estimated… Continue reading Background Genome sequencing projects have been completed for a number of
