Table 2 Expression profiles of the 20 sex-determination (A) and three cellularisation (B) transcripts identified in the B. jarvisi CLC assembly. Expression in each sample BJ1 - BJ8 is reported as the normalised RPKM value from the comparison of early samples (BJ5-8) to late samples (BJ1-4). Also refer to Additional File 5.

From: Comprehensive transcriptome analysis of early male and female Bactrocera jarvisi embryos
