Satellitome Analysis in the Ladybird Beetle Hippodamia variegata (Coleoptera, Coccinellidae) [PDF]
Hippodamia variegata is one of the most commercialized ladybirds used for the biological control of aphid pest species in many economically important crops. This species is the first Coccinellidae whose satellitome has been studied by applying new sequencing technologies and bioinformatics tools. We found that 47% of the H. variegata genome is composed
