Genome-wide identification and gene-editing of pigment transporter genes in the swallowtail butterfly Papilio xuthus

Genome-wide identification and gene-editing of pigment transporter genes in the swallowtail butterfly Papilio xuthus

Abstract Background Insect body coloration often functions as camouflage to survive from predators or mate selection. Transportation of pigment precursors or related metabolites from cytoplasm to subcellular pigment granules is one of the key steps in insect pigmentation and usually executed via suc...
