Gene products identified from the peptidomic analysis and the corresponding transcript expression data, as identified from the microarray analysis, for the cardia and posterior compartments of the midguts of female A. gambiae. With regard to the transcriptomic analysis, a -fold ratio of ≥2 denotes those transcripts that had a significantly higher expression in the cardia (C) as compared to the posterior (P), and a -fold ratio of ≤0.5 denotes those transcripts that had a significantly higher expression in the posterior compartment (as compared to the cardia). A -fold ratio between 0.5 and 2 denotes those transcripts that did not exhibit differential expression between the cardia and posterior compartments of the female midgut.
