Strategy of the transcriptional profiling to identify genes that are enriched during molting and lethargus.

<p>Strategy of the transcriptional profiling: Worms were individually staged using behavioral criteria, namely sleep-like and wake behavior, and subjected to microarray analysis. Because sleep-like behavior in larvae occurs during the molt, we obtained a dataset that reflects the expression changed during the molt and sleep-like behavior. Worm images are from <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0113269#pone.0113269-Turek1" target="_blank">[23]</a>.
