Extended Data Fig. 3

3D20E injections (0.63 µg) induce significantly stronger expression of MISO compared to the same amount of 20E. 3D20E injections also specifically or more potently activate the expression of EcR isoform A (EcR-A), and the mating-induced genes AGAP006421, AGAP004263 and HPX15, while they repress the EcR isoform EcR-B. 20E injections specifically activate the yolk protein gene Vg and HR4, and more potently induce HR3 expression (Data are presented as means ± s.e.m. that were derived from three biological replicates of pools of 10 mosquitoes each (HR4 data were from four biological relications of pools of 10 mosquitoes each), unpaired, two-sided, FDR-corrected t-tests were conducted for 20E vs 3D20E comparisons; statistical significance above each bar denotes comparison with 10% EtOH injection: unpaired t-test, two-sided).
