Annotation of segmentation pathway genes in the Asian citrus psyllid, Diaphorina citri

Insects have a segmented body plan that is established during embryogenesis when the anterior–posterior (A–P) axis is divided into repeated units by a cascade of gene expression. The cascade is initiated by protein gradients created by translation of maternally provided mRNAs, localized...
