Release from an ancestral splicing constraint: transformer-2 is uncoupled from sex determination and redeployed into beetle horn development
De novo transcriptome assemblies of three Onthophagus species (O. rectecornutus, O. sagittarius, and O. bivertex) generated from pooled RNA samples representing multiple developmental stages for each species. The assembled transcripts were used for coding sequence (CDS) prediction and functional annotation.
