The genome-wide transcription response underlying the dorsal processes and dorsal setae of the body in Dasyaphis mirabilis (Aphididae: Calaphidinae)
Nothing is currently known about the genetic mechanisms that underlie developmental switching between the short morph and long morph. To better understand the gene regulatory basis of this phenomenon, we undertook a comparative transcriptional analysis of the two morphs. The study aimed to assess the differential expression of genes and regulated pathways related to the dorsal processes and dorsal setae in D. mirabilis.
