Abstract

The coleoptera is the most species-rich order of animals. Relatively little is known about Coleoptera genes and genome. We describe here the construction and DNA sequencing of cDNA libraries from Protaetia brevizarsis, a fruit tree pest in Korea. We sequenced and analyzed 3072 ESTs from wholebody of Protaetia brevizarsis larvae. (omitted)
