| 研究実績の概要 |
Over 15 metagenomes of mealybugs were sequenced, genomes of symbiotic bacteria were extracted, and analyzed with comparative genomics and phylogenomics methods. Draft genomes of the insect hosts were analyzed for specific pathways and genes of interest. Confocal microscopy was used to localize the symbionts. The project allowed us to fully reconstruct the evolution of symbioses within Pseudococcidae.
