Project description:Investigation of whole genome gene expression level changes of testes in the meiotic drive system in aedes aegypti during spermatogenesis compared to non drive strain. The meiotic drive system in Aedes aegypti causes the female determining chromosome to fragment during spermatogenesis.
Project description:This analysis compare gene expression between 4 day old sugar fed female and male Aedes aegypti mosquitoes. Keywords: Aedes aegypti sex specific expression
Project description:Investigation of whole genome gene expression level changes of testes in the meiotic drive system in aedes aegypti during spermatogenesis compared to non drive strain. The meiotic drive system in Aedes aegypti causes the female determining chromosome to fragment during spermatogenesis. A six chip study using total RNA from three separately extracted non driving strain testes of Aedes aegypti and three separately extracted meiotic drive strain testes of Aedes aegypti.
Project description:The transcriptome profilling of an Aedes aegypti strain from Thailand resistant to Permethrin and Temephos (Nakhon Sawan 2, NS2) was compared to a susceptible strain of Thailand: Phatthalung (P). A experimental loop design was used : NS2 larvae unexposed vs P, NS2 Exposed (larvae survivors of a temephos bioassay inducing 65% mortality) vs P and NS2 Exposed vs NS2 Unexposed.
Project description:We conducted a whole transcriptome analysis of testes from a meiotic drive-carrying strain (T37) in comparison with a drive-sensitive strain (RED) using microarrays based on the complete annotated Ae. aegypti gene set. The T37 strain, which carries a strong meiotic drive gene (Mori et al., 2004 (PMID 15605641)), was established from mosquitoes collected in Trinidad. The RED strain is highly sensitive to the meiotic drive gene (Hickey and Craig, 1966 (PMID ); Mori et al., 2004 (PMID 15605641)). A six-chip study using total RNA recovered from three biological samples of the T37 strain and another three biological samples of the Red strain of Aedes aegypti. Each chip measures the expression level of 16,092 genes annotated from the Aedes aegypti genome sequence, with twenty 60-mer probe pairs (PM/MM) per gene, with three-fold technical redundancy.
Project description:This analysis defines the adult female and developmental specific transcriptomes of Aedes aegypti. Keywords: Aedews aegypti, development, gene expression
Project description:Custom microarrays were used to examine differential gene expression between pyrethroid resistant vs pyrethroid susceptible phenotypes of the dengue vector mosquito Aedes aegypti. Pyrethroid resistant population were from Cayenne (French Guiana, GUY), Baie Mahault (Guadeloupe, GUA) and Noumea (New Caledonia, CAL) whilst New Orleans lab colony represented the lab susceptible strain Pools of total RNA was extracted from the whole bodies of 3 day old female mosquitoes that had survived exposure to 0.06% deltamethrin (for GUY, GUA, CAL) . Single colour hybridization experiments were performed using labelled cDNA on the Agilent 'Aedes aegypti detox chip plus': A-MTAB-574. Four unique biological replicates per population were used in the study
Project description:Microarray analysis on days 1, 2 and 7 post-infection with dengue, yellow fever and West Nile virus in Aedes aegypti Rockefeller strain mosquitoes RNA was purified and hybridized with Nimblegen X4 microarray chips using 81-mer probes designed from 18,000 open reading frames (ORF) found in the Ae. aegypti genome, with 2 different probes per ORF
