Integrative transcriptomic and machine learning approaches reveal candidate genes for silk and venom production in Bibionomorpha (Diptera).

Insects display adaptive diversity in their secretory systems, which mediate ecological interactions ranging from defence to adhesion. Within Diptera, the co-occurrence of silk and venom represents a rare functional combination. Here, we integrate multi-species transcriptomics, coexpression network analysis and interpr...
