Transcriptomics studies often rely on partial reference transcriptomes that fail to capture the
full catalogue of transcripts and their variations. Recent advances in sequencing …

RNA-seq is a methodology for RNA profiling based on next-generation sequencing that
enables to measure and compare gene expression patterns at unprecedented resolution …

Experimental variance is a major challenge when dealing with high-throughput sequencing
data. This variance has several sources: sampling replication, technical replication …

Among-population variation in insect thermal performance is important for understanding
patterns and mechanisms of evolution and predicting insect responses to altered climate …

Background Chemosensory signal transduction guides the behavior of many insects,
including Anopheles gambiae, the major vector for human malaria in sub-Saharan Africa. To …

Background Pyrethroid resistance in the major malaria vector Anopheles funestus is rapidly
expanding across Southern Africa. It remains unknown whether this resistance has a unique …

Abstract Background Bed bugs (Cimex lectularius) are hematophagous nocturnal parasites
of humans that have attained high impact status due to their worldwide resurgence. The …

Understanding the rate of evolutionary change and the genetic architecture that facilitates
rapid adaptation is a current challenge in evolutionary biology. Comparative studies show …

Background Transcriptome sequencing can be used to determine gene sequences and
transcript abundance in non-model species, and the advent of next-generation sequencing …

Background Because of their phylogenetic position and unique characteristics of their
biology and life cycle, ferns represent an important lineage for studying the evolution of land …
