This study identifies RNA editing as a mechanism enabling the green peach aphid to adapt to diverse hosts through transcriptomic changes without genetic variation.

This study compares transcriptional plasticity in generalist and specialist aphids in response to different host plants, finding divergent gene expression patterns and differential effects of plant defense signals.

The paper investigates horizontal gene transfer in aphids, showing multiple carotenoid biosynthesis genes were acquired from fungi and assembled into a functional pathway.

This study presents a high-quality, chromosome-level genome assembly of the cabbage aphid Brevicoryne brassicae using PacBio and Hi-C data, enabling comprehensive genomic analysis.

The paper identifies two genetic pathways in silkworms that regulate olfactory-based sexual behaviors through specific pheromone perception genes.
