Project description:A protein pilot dataset detecting Wolbachia proteins from protein extracted from dissected infected Culex pipiens mosquito ovaries. The experiment was based of an iTRAQ experiment comparing infected and uninfected ovarian tissues and has been usefull in characterizing the wPip (Buckeye) ovarian proteome.
Project description:The following dataset is a Wolbachia proteome derived from protein extractions of infected ovaries of the mosquito host Culex pipiens.
Project description:Culex pipiens molestus and Cx. p. quinquefasciatus are the members of Culex pipiens Complex, but they display relatively large differences in behavior and physiological responses. We compared the genes of these mosquitoes to identify those that were differentially expressed in each subspecies. Such genes could play important roles in subspecies-specific blood feeding or oviposition behavior. Culex pipiens molestus and Cx. p. quinquefasciatus females were undertaken Illumina RNA sequencing.
