a The phylogenetic analysis places C. hominivorax as a sister species to the Australian sheep blow fly, Lucilia cuprina. The phylogeny is built using RAxML and it is based on amino acid sequences from 612 single-copy genes that are present in all 10 species. Bootstrap values are shown for every node. Benchmarking Universal Single-Copy Orthologs92 analyses were based on the dipteran dataset associated with this application (odb8). Green, genome; Purple, predicted gene sets. Orthology-based analyses of protein-coding genes between eight fly species determined the number of genes in single-copy core clusters, variable-copy number core clusters, paraphyletic clusters (non-core, non-species specific), singleton, and species-specific clusters, based on OrthoFinder69. b expression profiles for genes unique to C. hominivorax across development based on Supplementary files 8–13. Each expression value represents the average of three biological replicates for each stage. Relative expression levels are compared across the rows.
