Project description:With an experimental RNomics, we identified 194 novel ncRNAs in silkworm through four developmental stages (egg, larva, pupa and adult). Oligos of 132 ncRNAs were sucessfully designed, the expression of these ncRNAs were analyzed by dual-channel microarray, results showed that 36 ncRNAs had significantly differential expression during development. The RNA from four samples (egg, larva, pupa and adult) were analyzed, the sample of larva was used as reference.

Project description:We have performed the first systematic identification and analysis of intermediate size ncRNAs (50-500 nt) in the silkworm genome. We identified 194 novel ncRNAs, the expression profiles of them during the transitions from the egg to the first instar larva and from the fifth instar larva to the pupa were anlyzed by dual-channel microarray. Results showed that 12 ncRNAs had significantly differential expression during the two developmental transitions. The first instar larva sample was used for comparison to the sample of embryo, the fifth instar larva sample was used for comparison to the sample of pupa, respectively.

Project description:We here provide a comprehensive paired proteome and transcriptome data set including major stages (egg, larva, pupa and adult) across the whole developmental life cycle of the silkworm Bombyx mori. Our data constitutes a rich resource enabling comparative analysis of developmental regulatory dynamics. Analyzing this paired proteome and transcriptome data we revealed similarities and differences between both levels of gene expression in B. mori. We were also able to examine protein-transcript correlations and characterize stage-specific dynamics. Integrating similar publicly available data for D. melanogaster were also compared the two holometabolous insects at the level of the developmental proteome and transcriptome.
Project description:Bumblebees (Hymenoptera: Apidae) are important pollinating insects that play pivotal roles in crop production and natural ecosystem services. To achieve a comprehensive profile of accessible chromatin regions and provide clues for all possible regulatory elements in the bumblebee genome, we did ATAC-seq for Bombus terrestris samples derived from its four developmental stages: egg, larva, pupa, and adult, respectively. The sequencing reads of ATAC-seq were mapped to B. terrestris reference genome, and its accessible chromatin regions were identified and characterized using bioinformatic methods. Our study will provide important resources not only for uncovering regulatory elements in the bumblebee genome, but also for expanding our understanding of bumblebee biology.
Project description:The black soldier fly (BSF), Hermetia illucens, is the insect with the greater potential to contribute to sustainable human development due to its nutritional characteristics, low environmental impact, or bioremediation ability. This study characterized and quantified the proteome of three stages of BSF: Egg, Larva, and Adult, using a Bottom-Up Proteomics strategy. A total of 6,116 proteins were identified across all BSF development stages. The processes related to Information processing, like Chromatin structure, Replication, Transcription, Translation, and Cell cycle, were notably more abundant in Egg than Larva and Adult. Still, the metabolic processes, like Amino acid, Carbohy-drate, Lipid, and Nucleotide metabolism, were more abundant in Larva and Adult than Egg. The quantitative analysis revealed four expression clusters of proteins that participate in amino acid transport and metabolism, carbohydrate metabolism, coenzyme transport and metabolism, energy production, inorganic ion transport and metabolism, lipid metabolism, posttranscriptional modi-fication and translation. Furthermore, the detection of xenobiotic detoxification proteins belonging to P450s, esterases, and GSTs in BSF suggests detoxification of exogenous molecules. The overview of the BSF proteome provided information for further investigations as biotechnological applica-tions based on newly identified detoxification enzymes or practical applications such as enhancing rearing practices with new diet formulations or bioremediation wastes.
Project description:IMolting, a special period during which the old cuticle is shed and a new one is produced, is crucial to insect development. During their life cycles, insects that undergo complete metamorphosis may experience several larva-to-larva moltings to become larger, followed by larva-to-pupa and pupa-to-adult moltings to become adults. During the larva-to-larva molting stage, insect larvae stop consuming food and become restful. Whether any changes occur within the molting midgut before ecdysis remains known.
Project description:To identify miRNAs of Tribolium castaneum, one small RNA libraries for mix samples of eight development stage (including 1-day-old early embryo, 3-day-old late embryo, 1-day-old early larva, 20-day-old late larva, 1-day-old early pupa, 6-day-old late pupa, 1-day-old early adult, 7-day-old late adult) were constructed. Totally, 12,259,974 raw reads were obtained, 7,116,806 mappable reads were remained and 2,175,311 high-quality miRNA reads were identified after the small RNA digitalisation analysis. At last, 1,447 unique miRNAs which contained 274 conserved miRNAs, 245 known candidate miRNAs and 927 novel miRNAs were identified.
