Integration of a neuronal RNAseq dataset with the draft Gryllus bimaculatus transcriptome refines gene predictions and highlights potential systematic response to injury The cricket Gryllus bimaculatus presents a compelling model for investigating neuroplasticity due to its unusual capability of adult structural reorganization. The molecular pathways underlying these changes remain poorly understood. Here, we reanalyzed RNAseq data, originally collected from deafferented and control prothoracic ganglia one, three, and seven days post-injury, which had previously been used to assemble a de novo transcriptome. In this current analysis, we aligned our original RNAseq data to the publicly available G. bimaculatus draft genome, and used the resulting alignments... https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0347755
