The two-spotted spider mite (Tetranychus urticae) is an extremely polyphagous pest, yet the genetic basis of this adaptive potential remains to be fully elucidated. Since expression quantitative trait loci (eQTLs) provide the genetic basis of numerous phenotypes, we aimed to identify trans-eQTL hotspots underlying T. u...

This work provides the first functional analysis of double-strand break repair in a chelicerate of T. urticae, and demonstrates that Polθ-deficient strains enhance incorporation of repair templates, even when mutations are distant from the cut site.

It is demonstrated that even resistance-associated detoxification genes that are considered functionally validated in vitro, can have strong context-dependent phenotypic effects in vivo, underscoring the complexity of resistance gene networks and highlighting the need to interpret CRISPR/Cas9 knockout phenotypes within...
