Project description:Using a combination of Whole Genome Bisulfite Sequencing (WGBS) and RNA Sequencning (RNA-seq) we explored the effect that the loss of maternal care has on newly eclosed female offspring in the subsocial carpenter bee Ceratina calcarata.
Project description:Drosophila melanogaster larvae reared on isocaloric diets with different protein/sugar ratios, exhibit different developmental times and the eclosed adults show different metabolite pools of glycogen and triglycerides (Matzkin et al., 2011, PMID: 21525254). To investigate the effect of larval diet on adult neurological processes at the gene expression level we performed high throughout RNA sequencing of fly heads reared in two different protein/sugar ratio diets.
