Determining differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between biological samples is the key to understand how genotype gives rise to phenotype. RNA-seq and microarray are two main technologies for profiling gene expression levels. However, considerable discrepancy has been found between DEGs detected ...

Winged insects underwent an unparalleled evolutionary radiation, but mechanisms underlying the origin and diversification of wings in basal insects are sparsely known compared with more derived holometabolous insects. In the neopteran species Oncopeltus fasciatus, researchers from Wayne State and Penn ...
