The genome of a retreat-making caddisfly
The caddisfly Stenopsyche tienmushanensis Hwang was among the first described trichopterans by Chinese researchers. Sixty years after its scientific discovery to humans, the genome sequence of the species is now described for the first time, representing the best caddisfly genome by far. The new genome reveals potential linkage between genomic features (e.g., expansions of P450 and OBP families) and freshwater adaptations (e.g., tolerance to water pollutant, efficient mate fi
