Project description:Transciprional profiling of horn forming region of Bos taurus comparing horned, polled and scurred cattle. 3 condition experiment, Polled vs Horned, Polled vs Scurred, Scurred vs Horned, male and female samples, including dye swaps. 5 chips. No confounding between sex and chip. No confounding between indivdual and chip.
Project description:Aedes aegypti mosquitoes infect hundreds of millions of people each year with dangerous viral pathogens including dengue, yellow fever, Zika, and chikungunya. Progress in understanding the biology of this insect, and developing tools to fight it, depends on the availablity of a high-quality genome assembly. Here we use DNA proximity ligaton (Hi-C) and Pacific Biosciences long reads to create AaegL5 - a highly contiguous A. aegypti reference.
