“…In addition to the three FASN genes, R. prolixus has two gene fragments (RPRC000168 and RPRC000923) with moderate similarity (36-39%) to RPRC000269 and RPRC002909. The existence of FASN copies in tandem and gene fragments, as well as the larger number of FASN genes in insect genomes compared to other animal groups, suggests that gene expansion played a major role in the evolution of these genes in insects (Finck et al, 2016;Majerowicz et al, 2017). This process generated different genesalso expressed in different tissuesthat might have acquired distinct roles in insect physiology and metabolism.…”

“…(https://www.vectorbase.org/Rhodnius_ prolixus/Info/Index), which have been later on annotated as CYP4G106 and CYP4G107, respectively, according to CYP450 Database nomenclature (http://drnelson.uthsc. edu/CytochromeP450.html) (Schama et al, 2016;Majerowicz et al, 2017). Two CYP4G genes have been also found in a T. infestans integument transcriptome (Calderón-Fernández et al, 2017).…”

“…Con respecto a los genes de triatominos, se cuenta con la información derivada de la secuenciación completa del genoma de R. prolixus (Mesquita et al 2015), y a partir de dicha información, un análisis de los genes involucrados en metabolismo lipídico y genes de detoxificación (Schama et al 2016, Majerowicz et al 2017. Además, se dispone de la información del transcriptoma de tracto digestivo de R. prolixus y de glándulas salivales de T. rubida (Ribeiro et al 2012(Ribeiro et al , 2014.…”

“…Con la reciente secuenciación del genoma completo de R. prolixus (Mesquita et al 2015), se han identificado varios de los genes putativamente involucrados en la biosíntesis de lípidos cuticulares, entre ellos, tres genes FAS (que corresponderían a las específicas de integumento y a la FAS de cuerpo graso), diez genes ELOVL y 9 genes FAD, que estarían involcrados en la elongación y saturación respectivamente de las cadenas hidrocarbonadas y 13 genes FAR, involucrados putativamente en la reducción de precursores acilo graso para generar un aldehído o alcohol (Majerowicz et al 2017).…”
