New publication - the evolution of hopper symbioses
A new paper from the lab, led by Junchen, has just been published in the journal Genome Biology and Evolution! We describe symbiosis composition in three species from the planthopper genus Pyrops, and then compare the organization and other features of symbiont genomes from different clades of hoppers to conclude about their origins.
