RNA-Seq reveals large quantitative differences between the transcriptomes of outbreak and non-outbreak locusts
11 Jun 2018
Abstract excerpt
Outbreaks of locust populations repeatedly devastate economies and ecosystems in large parts of the world. The consequent behavioural shift from solitarious to gregarious and the concomitant changes in the locusts' biology are of relevant scientific interest. Yet, research on the main locust species has not benefitted from recent advances in genomics. In this first RNA-Seq study on Schistocerca gregaria, we...
