Rapid expansion of immune-related gene families in the house fly, <i>Musca domestica</i>
2016-08-06
Abstract excerpt
The house fly, Musca domestica , occupies an unusual diversity of potentially septic niches among sequenced Dipteran insects and is a vector of numerous diseases of humans and livestock. In the present study, we apply whole-transcriptome sequencing to identify genes whose expression is regulated in adult flies by bacterial infection. We then combine the transcriptomic data with analysis of rates of gene duplicati...
