Ace and ace-like genes of invasive redlegged earth mite: Copy number variation, target-site mutations, and their associations with organophosphate insensitivity.

Different combinations of target-site mutations and (or) copy number variation in the canonical ace and ace-like genes may provide non-convergent ways for H. destructor to respond to organophosphate selection. However, these changes may only play a partial role in organophosphate insensitivity, which appears to have a polygenic architecture. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
