Project description:Illumina HiSeq 2500 technology was used to sequence the transcriptome of three Ethiopian field populations of An. arabiensis (Asendabo (ASN), Chewaka (CHW) and Tolay (TOL)) and two An. arabiensis strains (Sekoru (SEK, from Ethiopia) and Moz (MOZ, from Mozambique)). Both ASN, CHW and TOL were previously shown to be resistant against delamethrin and DDT, while the two An. arabiensis strains (SEK and MOZ) were both susceptible to deltamethrin and DDT (Alemayehu et al. 2017, DOI: 10.1186/s13071-017-2342-y; Witzig et al. 2013, DOI: 10.1038/hdy.2012.112). Differentially expressed genes (absolute fold change (FC) ≥ 2 and Benjamini-Hochberg adjusted p-value < 0.05) were determined between each insecticide resistant field population (ASN, CHW or TOL) and one of the insecticide susceptible strains (SEK or MOZ).
Project description:The transcriptional profile of pyrethroid resistant Anopheles arabiensis from Zanzibar. Anopheles arabiensis from Pemba Island, exposed (Survivors) and non-exposed (Pemba) to a discriminating dose of the pyrethroid lambda-cyhalothrin were compared to two insecticide susceptible strains from Zanzibar island (Unguja) and Dar es Salaam (Dar).
Project description:The transcriptional profile of Anopheles arabiensis collected from a pyrethroid resistant area on Pemba Island collected in 2011 was compared to that of a lab susceptible colony of Anopheles arabiensis (MOZ).
Project description:We compared genetic profiles of planktonic stage to biofilm stage of deep sea bacterium Pseudoalteromonas sp. SM9913 and revealed genetic features during switch from planktonic to pellicle stage in Pseudoalteromonas sp. SM9913.
Project description:One of the most distinct features of Pseudoalteromonas sp. SCSIO 11900 is its ability to form a very robust pellicle than most Pseudoalteromonas strains. Thus we want to identify the genes essential for the pellicle formation of SCSIO 11900. We compared transcriptom profiles of planktonic cells, initial pellicle and mature pellicle of coral Pseudoalteromonas sp. SCSIO 11900 and revealed that some unique genes from horizontal gene transfer is involved in the pellicle formation of SCSIO 11900.
Project description:We compared genetic profiles of planktonic stage to biofilm stage of deep sea bacterium Pseudoalteromonas sp. SM9913 and revealed genetic features during switch from planktonic to pellicle stage in Pseudoalteromonas sp. SM9913. mRNA profiles of Pseudoalteromonas sp. SM9913 planktonic cells, initial pellicle cells and mature pellicle cells were generated by Illumina Hiseq2000.
Project description:Anopheles arabiensis from Jinja, Uganda resistant to permethrin (1hr exposure) were compared to sympatric controls and two pyrethroid susceptible colonies of An. arabiensis (Moz and Dongola)
