Real-time quantitative RT-PCR validation of microarray data. Validation of differential transcription between the two strains was performed on 11 selected genes in 4th-stage larvae (white dots) and 3-days old adults (black dots). Transcription ratios obtained from real-time quantitative RT-PCR experiments were normalized with the two housekeeping genes AeRPL8 and AeRPS7 and shown as mean value over 3 independent biological replicates.
