RNA-seq analysis of gene expression changes during pupariation in Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel) (Diptera: Tephritidae).

Significant changes at transcriptional level were identified during the larval pupariation of B. dorsalis. Importantly, we also obtained a vast quantity of RNA-seq data and identified metamorphosis associated genes, which would all help us to better understand the molecular mechanism of metamorphosis process in B. dorsalis.
