Transcriptome profiling reveals potential key genes involved in metabolic resistance to malathion in Southern house mosquito, Culex quinquefasciatus

To compare different differential expression profile between malathion resistant and susceptible Cx. quinquefasciatus in Harris County and to identify candidate genes involved in matabolic detoxification of malathion Overall design: We compared different gene expression patterns in both comparisons between malathion resistant (MR) versus malathion susceptible (MS) group, and between field collected Cx. quinquefasciatus that were not exposed to malathion (WI) versus a laboratory-maintained susceptible Sebring strain (CO)
