Comparison of RNA-Seq analysis data between tracheal mite-infested and uninfested Japanese honey bees (Apis cerana japonica).

ABSTRACT:

Objective

The purpose of this data set is to investigate differences in RNA-Seq transcriptome profiles between Acarapis woodi-infested and uninfested Japanese honey bees (Apis cerana japonica). The data set is strengthened by data collected from different body parts (head, thorax, and abdomen). The data set will support future studies of molecular biological changes in mite-infested honey bees.

Data description

We collected 5 mite-infested and 5 uninfested A. cerana japonica workers from each of 3 different colonies (designated as A, B, and C). Workers were dissected into 3 body sites (i.e., heads, thoraces, and abdomen), and 5 of each body site were pooled together for RNA extraction, generating a total of 18 RNA-Seq samples (2 infection status × 3 colonies × 3 body sites).
