Gene regulatory dynamics during the development of a paleopteran insect, the mayfly Cloeon dipterum.

ABSTRACT: The evolution of insects has been marked by the appearance of key body plan innovations that promoted the outstanding ability of this lineage to adapt to new habitats, boosting the most successful radiation in animals. To understand the evolution of these new structures, it is essential to investigate which genes and gene regulatory networks participate during the embryonic development of insects. Great efforts have been made to fully understand gene expression and gene regulation during the development of holometabolous insects, in particular Drosophila melanogaster. Conversely, functional genomics resources and databases in other insect lineages are scarce. To provide a new platform to study gene regulation in insects, we generated ATAC-seq for the first time during the development of th
