Analysis of ovarian transcriptomes reveals thousands of novel genes in the insect vector Rhodnius prolixus

Abstract Rhodnius prolixus is a Triatominae insect species and a primary vector of Chagas disease. The genome of R. prolixus has been recently sequenced and partially assembled, but few transcriptome analyses have been performed to date. In this study, we describe the stage-specific transcriptomes o...
