Abstract excerpt
The micro-evolutionary forces that shape genetic diversity during domestication have been assessed in many plant and animal systems. However, the impact of these processes on gene expression, and consequent functional adaptation to artificial environments, remains under-investigated. In this study, whole-transcriptome dynamics associated with the early stages of domestication of the black soldier fly (BSF),...
