Comparative and functional genomics of the ABC transporter superfamily across arthropods by Shane Denecke, Ivan Rankić, Olympia Driva, Megha Kalsi, Ngoc Bao Hang Luong, Benjamin Buer, Ralf Nauen, Sven Geibel, John Vontas

“…Using Kruskal-Wallis tests and the Computational Analysis of gene Family Evolution (CAFE), we were able to observe significant expansions of the ABC-B full transporters (P-glycoproteins) in Lepidoptera and the ABC-H transporters in Hemiptera. RNA-sequencing of epithelia tissues in the Lepidoptera Helicoverpa armigera showed that the 7 P-glycoprotein paralogues differ substantially in their tissue distribution, suggesting a spatial division of labor. …”
