Project description:Using 4 replicate males and 4 replicate females this experiment examined dosage compensation and sex-biased gene expression. Briefly we performed a de novo assembly of the Manduca sexta transcriptome using all sequenced libraries, quantified genes expression, identified the physical locations of genes through orthology to the moth Bombyx mori and examine expression differences between autosomal and Z-linked genes between males and females. Further, we examined sex-biased gene expression using the replicated data.
Project description:Comparative analyze at the transcriptomic level 1) of Venturia pyrina pear host resistance via the major apple resistance gene Rvi6, in Rvi6 overexpressing transgenic pear versus ‘conference’ susceptible variety; 2) of Venturia inaequalis pear nonhost resistance, in ‘Conference’ variety, 24 and 72 hours post inoculation.
Project description:Comparative analyze at the transcriptomic level 1) of Venturia inaequalis apple host resistance via the major resistance gene Rvi6, in Rvi6 overexpressing transgenic apple versus ‘Gala’ susceptible variety; 2) of Venturia pyrina apple nonhost resistance, in ‘Gala’ variety, 24 and 72 hours post inoculation.
