Abstract excerpt
The evolution of bioluminescence has prompted scientific attention to illuminate phylogenetic relationships of luminescent beetles. However, genomic resources are virtually lacking in rhagophthalmids (Rhagophthalmidae) and their related firefly beetles lampyrids (Lampyridae). Here, we employed the Illumina Hiseq 2000 platform and sequenced the whole-body transcriptomes of the four luminescent beetles: one...
