Fig. 4: Lineage-specific gene loss, duplication, and genome composition in aphids.

a Gene order in the genomic region near TERT. Gray links represent genomic regions conserved across all species, and TERT is highlighted in red. Red arrows point to the concatenated duplication location of the TERT gene. A more comprehensive gene order plot for various species is presented in Supplementary Fig. (Supplementary Fig. 19). b Timing of gene loss for BRD8, RIF1, and DMC1. Different colors indicate different taxonomic groups.
