Project description:This analysis compare gene expression between 4 day old sugar fed female and male Aedes aegypti mosquitoes. Keywords: Aedes aegypti sex specific expression
Project description:This analysis defines the adult female and developmental specific transcriptomes of Aedes aegypti. Keywords: Aedews aegypti, development, gene expression
Project description:Investigation of whole genome gene expression level changes of testes in the meiotic drive system in aedes aegypti during spermatogenesis compared to non drive strain. The meiotic drive system in Aedes aegypti causes the female determining chromosome to fragment during spermatogenesis.
Project description:Investigation of whole genome gene expression level changes of testes in the meiotic drive system in aedes aegypti during spermatogenesis compared to non drive strain. The meiotic drive system in Aedes aegypti causes the female determining chromosome to fragment during spermatogenesis. A six chip study using total RNA from three separately extracted non driving strain testes of Aedes aegypti and three separately extracted meiotic drive strain testes of Aedes aegypti.
Project description:Sequencing of the Aedes aegypti genome has enabled genome-wide studies of gene expression in this mosquito. The large quantities of data produced from such studies require efficient cataloguing in order for new insight to be made into gene expression patterns and the underlying molecular mechanisms for producing these patterns. Our study provides a comprehensive catalogue of genes whose transcription products increase or decrease in abundance in adult females following blood feeding. We developed a publicly-accessible database and data-mining tool, aeGEPUCI, that integrates 1) stage-specific microarray analyses of gene expression in Ae. aegypti, 2) functional gene annotation, 3) genomic sequence data, and 4) computational sequence analysis tools. The database is accessible from the address http://www.aegep.bio.uci.edu.
Project description:Custom microarrays were used to examine global differences in female vs. male gene expression in the developing pupal head of the dengue vector mosquito Aedes aegypti.
