Project description:Even after decades of living in the same laboratory environment two Drosophila melanogaster strains originating from North America (Canton-S) and Central Russia (D18) demonstrate a few differentially expressed genes some of which may be important for local adaptation (e.g. genes responsible for insecticide resistance). Genes with different level of expression between Canton-S and D18 strains belong to important metabolic pathways, for instance energy metabolism, carbohydrate metabolic process, locomotion, body temperature rhythm regulation and tracheal network architecture. We used microarrays to make transcriptome profiling of two laboratory strains of different geographical origin after long-term laboratory maintenance
Project description:modENCODE_submission_2751 This submission comes from a modENCODE project of Eric Lai. For full list of modENCODE projects, see http://www.genome.gov/26524648 Project Goal: We plan to generate a comprehensive catalog of expressed and functional microRNAs, and generate biological evidence for their regulatory activity. We plan also to delineate the primary transcription units of microRNA genes. Finally, we plan to annotate other classes of non-miRNA expressed small RNAs, as least some of which may define novel classes of small RNA genes. For data usage terms and conditions, please refer to http://www.genome.gov/27528022 and http://www.genome.gov/Pages/Research/ENCODE/ENCODEDataReleasePolicyFinal2008.pdf EXPERIMENT TYPE: RNA-seq. BIOLOGICAL SOURCE: Strain: Canton S; Tissue: Male body; Developmental Stage: Adult male; Genotype: wild type; Sex: Male; EXPERIMENTAL FACTORS: Strain Canton S; Tissue Male body; Developmental Stage Adult male; Replicate type: biological;
