Evolution of maternal and zygotic mRNA complements in the early Drosophila embryo

J Atallah, SE Lott - PLoS genetics, 2018 - journals.plos.org
The earliest stages of animal development are controlled by maternally deposited mRNA
transcripts and proteins. Once the zygote is able to transcribe its own genome, maternal …

Transcriptomic analysis reveals pronounced changes in gene expression due to sub-lethal pyrethroid exposure and ageing in insecticide resistance Anopheles …

VA Ingham, F Brown, H Ranson - BMC genomics, 2021 - Springer
Background Malaria control is heavily reliant on the use of insecticides that target and kill the
adult female Anopheline vector. The intensive use of insecticides of the pyrethroid class has …
