From: Genome of the parasitoid wasp Cotesia chilonis sheds light on amino acid resource exploitation
The amino acid biosynthetic pathway in the parasitoid wasp C. chilonis and its host C. suppressalis. The amino acid biosynthetic pathways were redrawn from the KEGG pathway, map01230. The pathway genes in gray are lost in both genomes of C. chilonis and C. suppressalis. The pathway genes in green are present in both genomes of C. chilonis and C. suppressalis. The pathway genes in orange are present in the genome of C. suppressalis but are lost in the genome of C. chilonis. The gene losses in the amino acid biosynthetic pathway of C. chilonis have disrupted the biosynthesis of ten amino acids (ASL-AA, Arg). However, the gene losses in the amino acid biosynthetic pathway of C. suppressalis have disrupted the biosynthesis of nine amino acids (ASL-AA), and the biosynthesis of these nine amino acids was thought to have been lost in the common ancestor of animals [25]. Gene copy number (GCN) of each pathway ortholog in C. chilonis and C. suppressalis was shown
