Drosophila transcription factors, Séance, Ouija board and Molting defective, cooperatively control ecdysone biosynthesis

RNA sequencing was performed to examine differential gene expression profiles in the ring gland of PG-specific Séance RNAi animals versus control. Overall design: Drosophila larvae with PG-specific knockdown of Séance and control animals were carefully staged at the larval L2/L3 molt. Ring glands were dissected at 44 hours L3. RNA isolated from ring glands were subject to RNA sequencing. Differential gene expression profiles were compared between control and RNAi animals.
