Table 2 Expression of symbiosis-related aphid orthologs in bacteriocytes compared to body tissues in two different aphid species. Each row contains a shared ortholog between M. persicae and A. pisum except for N/A which indicates no ortholog was identified between species.

From: Comparative transcriptomics of aphid species that diverged > 22 MYA reveals genes that are important for the maintenance of their symbiosis

  1. 1Bolded Gene names indicate orthologs in both aphid species are significantly differentially expressed between bacteriocytes compared to body tissues where both FDR p-value \(\le\) 0.05 and fold change (FC) \(\ge 1.5\) (i.e. LogFC \(\ge\) 0.5849).
  2. 2Bolded Gene IDs indicate that the aphid gene is significantly differentially expressed between bacteriocytes compared to body tissues in that aphid species. nd= not detected.
