Table S1: Summary of qRT-PCR and microarray comparisons. Relative expression values for nine selected genes (Features) in 10 different biological states, each compared to unfed females (F24u). The ratios were determined by qRT-PCR and from microarray data as described in the text. Values in this table were used to create Figure 4.
