Genomic and experimental data provide new insights into luciferin biosynthesis and bioluminescence evolution in fireflies

Abstract Fireflies are among the most charismatic insects for their spectacular bioluminescence, but the origin and evolution of bioluminescence remain elusive. Especially, the genic basis of luciferin (d-luciferin) biosynthesis and light patterns is largely unknown. Here, we present the high-qualit...
