research article
Laila Gasmi and colleagues show that bracovirus DNA sequences have been inserted repeatedly into lepidopteran genomes. The virus is used by parasitic wasps to inhibit caterpillar host immune defenses when laying their eggs. This horizontal gene transfer leads to acquisition of a novel gene from another species, allowing acquisition of novel traits.

On 25th July 2005 PLOS Genetics was launched, providing a high-quality, open access journal for the genetics community.
Wayne Frankel and Greg Barsh published an editorial in 2008 celebrating the first three years of PLOS Genetics.
In 2012 four PLOS Genetics’ editors outlined the policy underpinning Genome-Wide Association Studies submitted to the journal.
In 2013 PLOS Genetics began a partnership with the Open Access data repository Dryad, making it easier for authors to deposit their data.
