  1. 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.
  2. †Number of putative proteins with secretion signal peptides.
  3. ‡Number of genes with at least one transmembrane helix.
