Project description:Comprehensive RNA sequencing was performed on a laboratory colony of B. dorsalis with a focus on attempting to capture as many genes in the sequencing from throughout the entire developmental life history. De novo assembly and analysis of the resulting sequence One sample each for the egg, larvae, pupae, adult male, adult female and mated female life stages was sequenced.

Project description:We constructed four small RNA libraries from whole body of females, males (except ovaries and testes) and ovaries, testes of B. dorsalis for deep sequencing. The data analysis revealed 314 known and 221 novel miRNAs from these libraries. 14 female-biased and 12 male-biased miRNAs that may be involved in sexual differentiation were found by comparing the miRNA expression profiles in the four libraries.
