Stage-specific transcriptomic in the European house dust mite Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus
A whole-genome transcriptomic analysis across developmental stages and adult sexes in D. pteronyssinus has been performed. By integrating RNAseq data analysis with a comprehensive review and annotation of functionally relevant gene categories, we generate information that expands our understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying mite development, sexual reproduction, and allergen expression. Furthermore, we identify and discuss novel multigene families and horizontally transferred genes in the context of mite developmental biology
