The transcriptome of a "sleeping" invader: de novo assembly and annotation of the transcriptome of aestivating Cornu aspersum.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Phenomena such as incomplete lineage sorting, horizontal gene transfer, gene duplication and subsequent sub- and neo-functionalisation can result in distinct local phylogenetic relationships that are discordant with species phylogeny. In order to assess the possible biological roles for these subdivisions, t...
