Project description:Illumina HiSeq 2000 RNASeq was conducted on the mRNA fraction of three adult female Musca domestica strains. Two strains were the insecticide susceptible strains CS and aabys, which has five distinct recessive morphological markers, one on each of the five autosomes in M. domestica. The third strain was ALHF, which is a highly insecticide resistant strain obtained in Alabama. The reference transcriptome was generated de novo using Trinity. The coding trimmed sequences from Augustus were then used as the mapping reference for the individual FASTQ files from each strain. trace reads were mapped using RSEM to generate FPKM estimates. Gene expression levels were compared to the ALHF strain using EdgeR to identify genes that were downregulated in both aabys and CS. RNA Seq profiling of the mRNA of adult Musca domestica with different autosomal contributions from insecticide resistant and susceptible strains (whole insect pooled samples)

Project description:Using mRNA next generation sequencing, we analyze the transcriptome of Musca domestica embryos through five stages of early development: from syncytial blastoderm to dorsal closure stage.
Project description:Using mRNA next generation sequencing, we analyze the transcriptome of Musca domestica embryos through five stages of early development: from syncytial blastoderm to dorsal closure stage. We select 100 embryos for five developmental stages: syncytial blastoderm, cellular blastoderm, gastrula, germ band extension and dorsal closure. A total of 10 samples of mRNA were obtained, represent two biological replicates for each stage.
Project description:To investigate how MdCht9 contribute to the development and digestion of Musca domestica, we silenced the chitinase gene 9 (MdCht9) by its dsRNA, while silenced the GFP as the control. Then we compared the differental expression genes between the test group and the control group.
