The blind and wingless bee louse fly (Braula coeca) is an aberrant member of the family Drosophilidae that lives as a parasitic inquiline in the hive of the Western honey bee (Apis mellifera). The analysis of its genome identifies a case of horizontal transposon transfer and a striking parallel evolution in a set of ecologically-relevant gene families.无眼无翅蜜蜂虱蝇（Braula coeca）是果蝇科（Drosophilidae）的一个异常类群，作为寄生寄居生物栖息于西方蜜蜂（Apis mellifera）的蜂巢内。对其基因组的分析发现了一例水平转座子转移（horizontal transposon transfer）事件，以及一系列生态相关基因家族中出现的显著平行演化现象。
