Up-regulated bursa copulatrix and bursal gland genes with secretion signal peptides or transmembrane motifs

Tissue	Secretion signal peptide †	TMHMM ‡
Bursa copulatrix	2%	7%
Bursal gland	16%	46%

Percent of bursa copulatrix and bursal gland genes that were up-regulated compared to the female thorax and contain either a secretion signal peptide or at least one transmembrane motif. The bursal gland has a higher percent of predicted proteins with secretion signal peptides and transmembrane helices.

^†Number of putative proteins with secretion signal peptides.

^‡Number of genes with at least one transmembrane helix.
