Measuring gene expression simultaneously in both hosts and symbionts offers apowerful approach to explore the biology underlying species interactions. Suchdual or simultaneous RNAseq approaches have primarily been used to gain insightinto gene function in model systems, but there is opportunity to expand andapply these tools in new ways to understand ecological and evolutionaryquestions. By incorporating genetic diversity in both hosts and symbionts andstudying how gene expression is correlated between partner species, we can gainnew insight into host-symbiont coevolution and the ecology of speciesinteractions. In this perspective, we explore how these relatively new toolscould be applied to study such questions. We review the mechanisms that couldbe generating patterns of cross-species gene coexpression, including indirectgenetic effects and selective filters, how these tools could be applied acrossdifferent biological and temporal scales, and outline other methodologicalconsiderations and experiment possibilities.
