Gene expression changes associated with the evolutionary loss of a metabolic trait: lack of lipogenesis in parasitoids

Abstract Background Trait loss is a pervasive phenomenon in evolution, yet the underlying molecular causes have been identified in only a handful of cases. Most of these cases involve loss-of-function mutations in one or more trait-specific genes. However, in parasitoid insects the evolutionary loss...
