Transcriptome assembly plays a critical role in studying biological properties and examining
the expression levels of genomes in specific cells. It is also the basis of many downstream …

The insect odorant receptor (Or) gene family is among the largest multigene families in
insect genomes, but its evolutionary origin and mode of expansion is still a matter of debate …

Simple Summary Apples are among the most heavily treated fruits against pests. Finding
new, more environmentally friendly solutions for pest control is essential. Biological control …

The social bond between parents and offspring is characterized by coadaptation and
balance between altruistic and selfish tendencies. However, its underlying genetic …

Background Despite representing the largest fraction of animal life, the number of insect
