Light pulse and blood feeding induced transcriptome. A. Venn diagrams showing the number of genes regulated by light pulse (left, grey circle), blood feeding (right, black circles) and both stimuli (light grey shaded area in centre) in each of the different functional classifications: CIRCADIAN; CHEMOSENSORY; PROTEOLYTIC DIGESTION; IMMUNITY; METABOLISM; CYTOSKELETAL AND STRUCTURAL; REDOX/STRESS; REPLICATION/TRANSCRIPTION AND TRANSLATION; TRANSPORT; DIVERSE and UNKNOWN. The number of genes regulated in each sub-section is mentioned. The relative mRNA expression pattern of seven circadian/chemosensory genes at three different time-points of LD (12:12) conditions: in A. gambiae female head (B) and in the remaining body (C). The mRNA level at Day1CT2 was taken as 1 and the relative mRNA level at other time-points were calculated accordingly with respect to Day1CT2. [Day1CT2 = 2 h after light on stage on day 1; Day1CT14 = 2 h after light off stage on day 1; Day2CT2 = 2 h after light on stage on day 2].
