Regulatory Divergence in Drosophila revealed by mRNA-seq
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: These data were generated in a study to analyze the genetic causes of gene regulatory divergence. mRNA-seq libraies were prepared from poly(A)+ RNA prepared from whole F1 hybrids of D. melanogaster and D. sechellia (female 0-3d post eclosion, "D_mel_x_D_sec"). A mixed mRNA- seq library was prepared from D. melanogaster and D. sechellia poly(A) + RNA (mixed before library preparation, "D_mel_+_D_sec). Finally, separate mRNA-seq libraries were prepared from poly(A)+ RNA from each species ("D_mel" and "D_sec"). The results of this study showed that 78% of genes expressed in the two species are differentially expressed, and that cis- and trans-regulatory divergence affect 51% and 66% of expressed genes, respectively.
