Gene gain and loss associated with parasitism. a Number of gene families with apparent expansion/contraction among M. cingulum and 12 other species. M. cingulum has a significant higher number of gene contractions than expansions. In contrast, C. floridanum has more events of gene expansions. b Gene families with significant contraction or expansion. Noticeably, the gene families of OBP, P450, CCN, CDC, CDK, CASP, CBFA2T, CIT, CLASP, COX, DNAJ were contracted, whereas the gene families of CHEK, DNCH1, DLG1, NDUF and VDP were expanded in M. cingulum. c Numbers of venom proteins in different parasitic wasps. M. cingulum has few venom proteins since it has the feature of immune evasion and does not rely on the venom proteins to condition the host
