show Abstracthide AbstractThe differential gene expression between a newly emerged male and a sexually mature male can provide insight to male sexual maturity, of the Anopheles funestus mosquito. The aim of this investigation is to compare and discover differentially expressed genes of Anopheles funestus between Stage 0 and Stage 3 of the genitalia rotation process (sexually mature vs. sexually immature) by RNA-seq in order to elucidate transcripts involved in the sexual maturation process.
