Novel chitinase, MdCht9, in Musca domestica

To investigate how MdCht9 contribute to the development and digestion of Musca domestica, we silenced the chitinase gene 9 (MdCht9) by its dsRNA, while silenced the GFP as the control. Then we compared the differental expression genes between the test group and the control group. Overall design: Retinal mRNA profiles of silencing MdCht9 (dsMdCht9) and silencing GFP (dsGFP) toward to the 2nd-instar housefly larvae.
