cDNA from Malpighian tubules of females of Aedes albopictus, used for the de novo transcriptome
The experimental design consisted of two treatments and three levels per treatment. Treatments were 1) Malpighian tubules from blood fed (BF) females, and 2) non-blood fed (NBF) females. NBF females were offered soaked cotton with 10% sucrose solution instead of the blood meal. The levels/treatment are the time points ‘3 h, 12 h, and 24 h’, which represent the time when mosquitoes were dissected after treatment.
