Project description:We characterized insulin receptor (InR)-dependent gene expression in the Drosophila fat body using transgenic RNAi. Chronic knockdown of InR in the fat body was elicited via (r4-GAL4, UAS-InRi) and RNA-seq was used to identify potential target genes.
Project description:We report the transcriptome profile of one sequenced sample of mRNA isolated from pooled (20 from each genotype) abdomen fly extracts enriched in fat body content of fat body-specific Sdc RNAi knockdown and control flies Abdominal fat body mRNA profiles of 4-6-day old control and fat body-specific Sdc RNAi knockdown were generated by deep sequencing using Illumina HiSeq 2500
Project description:We compared four transcription factor knockdowns using transgenic RNAi expressed in the larval fat body. FOXO, Tfb1, p53, and Stat92E-dependent gene expression in the Drosophila fat body was quantified on control and high-sugar diets in order to generate expression profiles via RNA-seq. These expression data were used to build a gene regulatory network to predict novel roles for these and other genes during caloric overload.
