Neurotranscriptome tissues, sequencing and annotation methods. Cartoon of tissues dissected from adult female (a) and male (b) Ae. aegypti. The rostrum comprises maxillary palp, proboscis and connecting tissue. Number of biological replicates and sequencing reads across all conditions (c) and workflow chart (d) of analyses [36, 38–40, 86, 91] used to update the annotation of protein coding genes in the Ae. aegypti genome. e Principal component analysis of transcriptome-wide expression profiles of male and non-blood-fed female tissues
