Myriapod genomes reveal ancestral horizontal gene transfer and hormonal gene loss in millipedes

Myriapod genomes reveal ancestral horizontal gene transfer and hormonal gene loss in millipedes

Myriapods play an important ecological role in soil and forest ecosystems. Here the authors analyse nine myriapod genomes, showing rapid evolution of distinct genomic pathways in centipede and millipede lineages, shaped by differing ecological pressures.
