A horizontally acquired and recurrently expanded glycoside hydrolase subfamily across leafhoppers
This work reconstructed the evolutionary history of the bacterial glycoside hydrolase subfamily GH5-40 across leafhoppers (Cicadellidae) and identified 87 GH5-40 genes encoding 113 catalytic domains across 23 leafhopper species, with copy numbers ranging from 1 to 19 genes per genome.
