    An Updated Insight into the Sialotranscriptome of Triatoma infestans: Developmental Stage and Geographic Variations
    (Public Library of Science, 2014) Alexandra Schwarz; Nora Medrano-Mercado; Günter A. Schaub; Claúdio J. Struchiner; M. Dolores Bargues; Michael Z. Levy; José M. C. Ribeiro
    Over five thousand CDS, mostly full length or near full length, were publicly deposited on GenBank. Transcripts that were over 10-fold overexpressed from different geographical regions, or from different developmental stages were identified. Polymorphisms were mapped to derived coding sequences, and found to vary between developmental instars and geographic origin of the biological material. This expanded sialome database from T. infestans should be of assistance in future proteomic work attempting to identify salivary proteins that might be used as epidemiological markers of vector exposure, or proteins of pharmacological interest.
