abstract = {We report genome sequences and comparative analyses of three closely related parasitoid wasps: Nasonia vitripennis, N. giraulti and N. longicornis. Parasitoids are important regulators of arthropod populations including major agricultural pests and disease vectors, and Nasonia is an emerging genetic model, particularly for evolutionary and development genetics. Our key findings include identification of a functional DNA methylation toolkit, hymenopteran specific genes including diverse venoms, lateral gene transfers among Pox viruses, Wolbachia and Nasonia, and the rapid evolution of genes involved in nuclear-mitochondrial interactions that are implicated in speciation. Newly developed genome resources have advanced the system for genetic research, accelerated mapping and cloning of quantitative trait loci (QTL), and will ultimately provide tools and knowledge for further increasing the utility of parasitoids as pest insect control agents.}
