Abstract
The Papilio genus, known for its ecological and phenotypic diversity, is a valuable model for evolutionary studies. This study conducted a comparative genomic analysis of 11 Papilio species, revealing species-specific gene family expansions, including the UDP-glucosyltransferase 2 gene associated with insect detoxification, particularly expanding in Papilio polyxenes. Our analysis also revealed 199 horizontal gene transfer (HGT) acquired genes from 76 microbial species, with Pseudomonadota and Bacillota as common HGT donors across these genomes. Furthermore, we examined the evolutionary patterns of nine ABC transporter subfamilies, uncovering potential links between gene family evolution and environmental adaptation. This study provides new insights into evolutionary relationships and genomic adaptations within the Papilio genus, contributing to broader butterfly evolutionary research.
