Characterizing the developmental transcriptome of the oriental fruit fly, Bactrocera dorsalis (Diptera: Tephritidae) through comparative genomic analysis with Drosophila melanogaster utilizing modENCODE datasets

Table 2 Number of unigenes present in expression level categories

Stage	Number of unigenes	Percentage of total unigenes (%)
All stages:
Constitutive highly expressed genes	1,347	12.47
Constitutive low	8,269	76.56
Single Stages:
Egg specific	29	0.26
Larvae specific	136	1.25
Pupae specific	110	1.01
Mated Female specific	35	0.324
Adults (Female and male) specific	50	0.46

Lists of genes present in each category is provided as matrices in Additional file 1. Constitutive highly expressed genes have modENCODE expression values of “High” or greater across all stage specific samples. Sparsely expressed genes have a value of “Low” or lower.
