Crickets conceal ancient secrets
A recent study reveals that cockroaches carry more than 40,000 genetic fragments from the bacterium (Blattabacterium cuenoti), which has lived inside them for millions of years. This number far exceeds previous rates of horizontal gene transfer in complex organisms. The persistence of these fragments over thousands of years suggests they may provide cockroaches with biological advantages or special capabilities, but research is still ongoing to determine their potential functions.
