Since the early 2000s, understanding gene function in invertebrates has become approachable through genomics (Smith and Eyre-Walker, 2002; Clark et al., 2007). Some years later, high-throughput DNA and RNA sequencing became available in the frame of the development of next generation sequencing technologies, allowing comparative genomics studies (Berens et al., 2015). In parallel, the prediction of protein structure through molecular modelling techniques, was progressing thanks to the obtention of crystallized 3D structures (e.g., Kuhlman and Bradley, 2019). Overall, genomic research started to emerge around invertebrate and especially insect physiology, which has been heavily supported by bioinformatics analyses in recent years (see for example, Vizueta et al., 2020; Venthur and Zhou, 2018; Chen et al., 2022).
