The clear reduced abundance of these transcripts could be owing to the low homology to Drosophila proteins or to an inherent bias in the library building
As described in the Strategies, cDNA libraries from Spodoptera exigua larvae challenged with energetic AcMNPV or warmth-inactivated AcMNPV were subjected to a 1/8-plate creation run on the 454 GS-FLX sequencing…
