Abstract

Expressed sequence tags(ESTs) constitute a rapid and informative strategy for studying gene-expression profiles of specific stages and tissues. In this report, a cDNA library constructed from late larval Hydropsyche sp. was used to generate ESTs. Caddis larval silk-gland produce silk which are used in constructing their retreats and cases in the aquatic situation. (omitted)
