The genome sequence of the barkfly, Loensia variegata (Latreille, 1799) (Psocodea: Psocidae) [version 1; peer review: 2 approved] [PDF]
Wellcome Open ResearchWe present a genome assembly from an individual male Loensia variegata (barkfly; Arthropoda; Insecta; Psocodea; Psocidae). The assembly contains two haplotypes with total lengths of 531.42 megabases and 488.90 megabases.

Loss of mitochondrial single stranded DNA-binding protein (mtSSB) gene is associated with mitochondrial genome fragmentation in Psocodea (bark lice, book lice, and parasitic lice) [PDF]
BMC BiologyBackground Organelle genome fragmentation is a drastic large-scale chromosomal mutation. Why and how organelle genomes become fragmented is still poorly understood.
