Description

Tian-Xing Jing and co-authors read the full mitochondrial genome of an aphid in a 2025 paper. The aphid feeds on willows and on several vegetable crops, and its genus has been hard to place because the insects are tiny and look alike. A complete genome offers firmer ground for sorting them.

They sequenced the genome from insects gathered on a water plant and compared it with a close kin species. They studied how the genome favors certain code words, using several bias plots, and built family trees by two methods. The genome adds a reference for pest identification and for tracing aphid evolution.
