Parallel metatranscriptome analyses of host and symbiont gene expression in the gut of the termite <it>Reticulitermes flavipes</it>
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Termite lignocellulose digestion is achieved through a collaboration of host plus prokaryotic and eukaryotic symbionts. In the present work, we took a combined host and symbiont metatranscriptomic approach for investigating the diges...
