List of genes exhibiting differential expression in horn- or leg primordia compared to abdominal epithelium. Listed are genes exhibiting significant (p < 0.05) and at least 2-fold difference in expression intensity in primordial head horns and/or prothoracic horns and/or legs. Shown are spot- or contig IDs, the tissue(s) in which differential expression was detected (H: head horns, T: prothoracic horns, L: legs), fold-differences in expression relative to abdominal epithelium (positive values indicate enrichment relative to abdominal epithelium), sequence match descriptions (UniProtKB, FlyBase, Triboium, invertebrate, or nr), percent amino acid sequence identity, E-values, and bit score.
