RNA-seq of Drosophila simulans and Drosophila mauritiana developing male genitalia

ABSTRACT: We generated RNA-seq data of Drosophila simulans and Drosophila mauritiana developing male genitalia in order to identify expression level differences between these species. These species are closely related, yet have dramatic differences in their male genital morphologies. Three independent RNA-seq library replicates were generated for Dsim w501 and Dmau D1 developing male genitalia. Flies were reared under the above conditions, and white pre-pupae collected. Males were selected using gonad size and allowed to develop in a humid container at 25ºC until stages 2 and 4.5 (see staging guide in (Hagen et al., 2019); tartan underlies the evolution of Drosophila male genital morphology). Between these stages, the claspers develop from a ridge structure to a distinct appendage separate from
