Culex pipiens crossing type diversity is governed by an amplified and polymorphic operon of Wolbachia

Wolbachia causes cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI) between mosquitoes infected with different strains, but the genetic basis of observed CI diversity is unknown. Here, Bonneau et al. sequence Wolbachia from over 100 Culex pipiens lines and show that crossing types match variations of the toxin-antito...
