Reticulitermes labralis Transcriptome or Gene expression. Reticulitermes labralis

In the present study, to gain insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying the reproductive plasticity of workers, we induced the female workers that transformed into reproductives by using the groups of isolated workers of R. labralis, and then sequenced the transcriptomes of individuals at three stages: female workers in natal colonies in which there were queens, isolated female workers from their natal colonies and female neotenic reproductives (NRs) differentiated from isolated workers.
