Homologs in Drosophila melanogaster for predicted genes located less than 200 kb way from LT-MAPIT outlier SNP 2. Only genes with identified molecular functions were considered here. Tcri: gene number in T. cristinae reference genome 1.3c2; D.mel: homolog gene in Drosophila melanogaster; molecular function in D.mel: molecular function of this gene in D. melanogaster; effects in D.mel: observed phenotypic effects of this gene in D. melanogaster; effects in other insects: observed phenotypic effects of this gene or genes in the same family in other insects species.
