Project description:Transcriptional profiling of the antennae of adult honeybee workers with a dsx stop/stop mutation and wild-type workers was performed by RNA-Seq. Gene expression of the dsx stop/stop and wild type female workers was compared.
Project description:RNA-Seq of 14 tissues from a female adult olive baboon (Papio anubis) from the non-human primate reference transcriptome resource (NHPRTR) project
Project description:The purpose of this experiment was to compare RNA-seq profiles of adult male and female butterfly chemosensory tissues to identify tissue- and sex-specific differences in gustatory and olfactory gene expression. Three biological replicates per sex were produced from individual Heliconius melpomene rosina butterflies. For the antennal libraries, both antennae were used, for the labial palps + proboscis libraries both labial palps and each proboscis was used, and for the leg libraries all six legs were used.
Project description:We assessed the differential expression of genes in the adult antennae of pnt RNAi and control flies to understand how the expressions of olfactory receptors could change in response to cell fate alteration in the antennae.
Project description:Sex-specific gene expression in sensory organs may play an important role in mating and foraging behavior. We used long-oligonucleotide microarrays to compare gene expression profiles of males and females in three adult appendages that carry large numbers of chemosensory organs â antenna, proboscis, and front leg. Keywords: tissue-specific expression profiles Drosophila isogenic line WI89 was used. Adult male and female antennae (a3+arista), front legs (from distal tibia down), and proboscises were dissected at 1-2 hours after eclosion. Total RNA was extracted and the mRNA fraction was amplified by reverse transcription followed by in vitro transcription with T7 RNA polymerase.
