Insights into the evolution of the CSP gene family through the integration of evolutionary analysis and comparative protein modeling.

Insect chemical communication and chemosensory systems rely on proteins coded by several gene families. Here, we have combined protein modeling with evolutionary analysis in order to study the evolution and structure of chemosensory proteins (CSPs) within arthropods and, more specifically, in ants b...
