REMAINING QUESTIONS. “In particular, the identification of the insect factors targeted by the sperm modification may soon allow us to study the coevolution of cif genes with the insect reproductive system. Finally, a deeper analysis of divergent cif homologs found outside Wolbachia should allow us to address questions around the deep evolutionary origin of CI and may reveal novel functions of these genes.” (CI = cytoplasmic incompatibility).
