Project description:In this study, we look at both targeted and untargeted metabolomic data from both sexes and 11 species of Drosophila. For the targeted analysis, we also looked at two ages to understand conserved changes with age in the Drosophila genus.
Project description:We performed transcriptional profiling of sexed whole adults and mixed sex embryos of eight Drosophila species. These data were used in a comparative transcriptomics analysis of multiple Drosophila species to define functional elements conserved throughout the Drosophila genus.
Project description:We overexpressed the conspecific miR-975 in the cell lines derived from multiple Drosophila species (i.e. S2 cells from Drosophila melanogaster; ML82-19a cells from Drosophila simulans and WR-Dv-1 cells from Drosophila virilis). Comparison of the miR-975 effect between different cell lines provide insight into the rewiring of regulatory network through the evolution of new microRNA.
Project description:Transposon insertion site sequencing (TIS) is a powerful method for associating genotype to phenotype. However, all TIS methods described to date use short nucleotide sequence reads which cannot uniquely determine the locations of transposon insertions within repeating genomic sequences where the repeat units are longer than the sequence read length. To overcome this limitation, we have developed a TIS method using Oxford Nanopore sequencing technology that generates and uses long nucleotide sequence reads; we have called this method LoRTIS (Long Read Transposon Insertion-site Sequencing). This experiment data contains sequence files generated using Nanopore and Illumina platforms. Biotin1308.fastq.gz and Biotin2508.fastq.gz are fastq files generated from nanopore technology. Rep1-Tn.fastq.gz and Rep1-Tn.fastq.gz are fastq files generated using Illumina platform. In this study, we have compared the efficiency of two methods in identification of transposon insertion sites.
