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.无翅且视觉缺失的蜂虱蝇（Braula coeca）是果蝇科（Drosophilidae）中的异常类群，以寄居性寄生生物的方式栖息于西方蜜蜂（Apis mellifera）的蜂巢内。对其基因组开展的分析揭示了一例水平转座子转移（horizontal transposon transfer）事件，以及一组生态相关基因家族中显著的平行演化（parallel evolution）现象。
