Results, published in Communications Biology , suggest that the evolution of a virus integrated into a eukaryotic genome is totally different when it is useful to the organism that carries it.
A species of “murder hornet,” beheads and feeds to its larvae an insect that is very important to, and symbolic of, France: the honeybee.
Researchers studied the genome of wasp species which attack different aphid species, in order to understand which adaptations allow them to get around their hosts’ defenses.
