Singh, Bass and colleagues generate new genomic resources for the aphid crop pest, Myzus persicae, comprising a chromosome-scale genome assembly and resequenced genomes of >100 globally sampled clonal lines. Using this dataset, they uncover both mechanisms underpinning the evolution of insecticide resistance and ecological factors that influence its emergence and spread.
