- •
Local gene duplications in an ancestral arthropod created three allatostatin C genes.
- •
These three genes code for three different peptides, allatostatin C, CC and CCC.
- •
Horse shoe crabs, spiders, scorpions, myriapods and decapods have all three genes.
- •
Most insects lost one gene, but migratory locusts and sawflies have still all three.
- •
Some arthropods genome assemblies have contigs with all three genes still associated.
