ABSTRACT: Growth performance, immunity and intestinal microbiota of swamp eel (Monopterus albus) fed a diet supplemented with house fly larvae (Musca domestica)
Project description:The swamp eel or rice field eel (Monopterus albus) taxonomically belongs to the family Synbranchidae of the order Synbranchiformes (Neoteleostei, Teleostei, Vertebrata). It is not only an economically important freshwater fish in aquacultural production, but also an increasingly known model species for biological studies. Understanding molecular mechanisms underlying sex change is a major area of interest. The swamp eel thus offers a powerful system for studying sexual development and adaptive evolution in vertebrates.The whole genome sequencing provides valuable resources for sex control in fish production, species protection through manipulating sex reversal genes, and potentially enabling effective population control and promoting reproduction health in human. High throughput sequencing was employed for three samples,three kind s of sex gonad from swamp eel, testis,ovotestis and ovary, no replicates.

Project description:Variant calling from house fly (Musca domestica) DNA and RNA sequencing data
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: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: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.
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.
