Variation in isoform preference may alter microRNA targeting of the vesicular glutamine transporter gene Sc-vglu-2 between strains of S. carpocapsae. a Diagrammatic depiction of isoform structure between predicted variants (not to scale); white boxes indicate UTRs, red boxes indicate exons. b Graph indicating relative percentage abundance of L596_g5500.t2 across S. carpocapsae strains (n = 6 independent libraries per strain). One way ANOVA and Tukey’s multiple comparison tests were conducted using Graphpad Prism 7.02. P < 0.05*, P < 0.001***. c Diagrammatic depiction of the relative position of VGluT in a glutamatergic neuron
