Project description:Transcriptomic data was obtained from adults of the stink bug Nezara viridula to complement biochemical enzymatic activity analysis performed for digestive enzymes. Pooled reads from all sample types were used for de novo assembly of a reference transcriptome. After mapping reads to reference, differential expression was performed between the different tissues of the same diet or between the same tissue in different diets.
Project description:We sequenced the mRNA of three species of Heliconius butterfly and Eueides isabella in order to identify genes upregulated in the mouthparts tissues. Sequencing libraries were produced for three tissues types (mouthparts, legs and antennae), for one male and one female of each species.
