Transcriptome sequencing and phylogenetic analysis of four species of luminescent beetles
Abstract The evolution of bioluminescence has prompted scientific attention to illuminate phylogenetic relationships of luminescent beetles. However, genomic resources are virtually lacking in rhagophthalmids (Rhagophthalmidae) and their related firefly beetles lampyrids (Lampyridae). Here, we emplo...
