Project description:We constructed three small RNA libraries from embryos at 5, 6 and 7 post-oviposition (hpo) of Bactrocera dorsalis for deep sequencing. The data analysis revealed 147 known and 103 novel miRNAs from these libraries.
Project description:Four developmental stage small RNA libraries including Eggs, Larvae, Pupae and Adults were constructed, where a lot of known miRNAs were identified and many novel miRNAs were predicted. Comparison of their expression profiles in the four libraries suggested that Bactrocera dorsalis miRNAs are dynamically regulated throughout the life cycle.Further analysis of the expression and function of these miRNAs could increase our understanding of regulatory networks in the insect and lead to novel approaches to its control.
