Bulk segregant analysis reveals genomic regions associated with imidacloprid resistance in the Colorado potato beetle

Alitha Edison, Nijat Narimanov, Pablo Duchen, Shuqing Xu

The paper uses bulk segregant analysis to identify genomic regions linked to imidacloprid resistance in Colorado potato beetles and finds that RNAi reduces resistance, challenging its use for validation.
