Gene categories chosen in part based on Canavoso et al. [46]. Values are the number of total sequences per subcategory in the transcriptome, and the number differentially expressed in each tissue or possible tissue pair, with the number highly expressed in each tissue given in parentheses. VLCFA = very long chain fatty acid. AoM = Appendices of the Midgut, MGWall = Midgut Wall, MpgT = Malpighian tubules.
