Teleogryllus oceanicus wing bud transcriptome

In the field cricket Teleogryllus oceanicus, mutant males with feminised forewings (flatwings) recently appeared on two Hawaiian islands. Mutant males are obligately silenced, which protects them from attack by an acoustically-orienting parasitoid. Here, we focused on gene expression differences between flatwing and normal males on an early-developing wing stage (wing buds).
