The goal of this study was to examine transcriptome differences between lactating and nonlactating tsetse flies. In specific, we sought to identify novel milk proteins for this insect vector.
Insects are one of the most species-rich groups of metazoan organisms. They play a pivotal role in most non-marine ecosystems and many insect species are of enormous economical and medical importance.
Genomic and transcriptomic details about Cylas formicarius, especially its biosynthetic pathways and gene expression in different stages, have remained largely unknown until now. Due to the limitation
