Comparison of gene expression analyzed by RNA-Seq or RT-qPCR. Genes are referred to as their annotation on the M. persicae genome. Genes encoding Unknown protein_1, Cytochrome P450-like protein and ACYPI007976 protein were down-regulated genes, and genes encoding the ACYPI45293, Cuticular protein SD and an unknown protein_2 were up-regulated genes in viruliferous vs non-viruliferous aphids. Gene ID, RNA-Seq data, primers used in the RT-qPCR experiments and mean expression of the gene are shown in Additional file 1. Data are presented as the log2 of the ratio: mean expression in viruliferous aphids/mean expression in non-viruliferous aphids
