Comparative genome analysis
To identify ortholog groups among multiple species, including B.
mori , D. plexippus , P. xuthus and P. xylostella ,
OrthoFinder (Emms, & Kelly, 2015) was used. Each gene set corresponded
to the genome assembly, which was used for BUSCO analysis (Table S5).
Regarding to D. plexippus , P. xuthus and P.
xylostella , the proteome data was obtained from Lepbase
(http://lepbase.org) (Challis, Kumar,
Dasmahapatra, Jiggins, & Blaxter, 2016). The proteome data of B.
mori was obtained from SilkBase
(http://silkbase.ab.a.u-tokyo.ac.jp/cgi-bin/download.cgi).
