<title>Abstract</title>
Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is a potentially critical source of material for ecological adaptation and the evolution of novel genetic traits. However, reports on posttransfer duplication in organism genomes are lacking,...
 
The genome sequence of Samia ricini, a new model species of lepidopteran insect
Jung Lee   Tomoaki Nishiyama   Shuji Shigenobu   Katsushi Yamaguchi   Yutaka Suzuki   Toru Shimada   Susumu Katsuma   Takashi Kiuchi   
Molecular Ecology Resources   21(1) 327-339   Oct 2020   [Refereed]
Samia ricini, a gigantic saturniid moth, has the potential to be a novel lepidopteran model species. Samia ricini is far more resistant to diseases than the current model species Bombyx mori, and therefore can be more easily reared. In addition, g...
