Genome report: sequencing of Helicoverpa- infecting Ophryocystis sp. confirms cryptic diversity and changes in gene content of Lepidoptera-infecting apicomplexan parasites

Apicomplexan parasites of insects represent a largely unexplored branch of the tree of life. Their small size and lack of informative phenotypic traits can obscure their diversity and many lineage-specific adaptations to different host species. To better understand how these para...

Genome report: Genome sequence of Phymata mystica (Evans), an ambush bug

Recent advances in sequencing technology have made the sequencing of non-model organisms significantly more streamlined and feasible. Using these technologies, we begin to address the lack of data on non-model organisms, by sequencing the genome of one such species, Phymata mysti...
