Project description:Characterization of miRNAs in red flour beetle Tribolium castaneum by deep sequencing of two different RNA libraries. Sequencing of Tribolium small RNAs from adults and embryos.
Project description:Genome-wide survey of transcriptional differences between males and females of Tribolium castaneum, the red flour beetle Four biological replicates for male and female beetles with 20 individuals per replicate. Two technical replicates, one replicate per sex. 16,434 genes/expressed non-coding regions represented twice on each array. Three 60 mer probes for most exons/expressed non-coding regions. 167,538 unique genomic probes replicated twice per array.
Project description:This study examines gene expression differences between infected larvae from different maternal infection backgrounds to try to understand the immunological basis of invertebrate immune priming. Female Tribolium castaneum beetles were either jabbed with sterile saline, heat killed Bt, or left naïve. 15 Offspring from the first and second broods were infected with Bt and 24 hours later pooled by treatment and flash frozen Beetles from saline and primed maternal backgrounds are compared to naïve infected Pooled whole larvae, custom array for T. castaneum, 1 replicate per treatment comparison. Same naïve sample used for both arrays
Project description:We report Illumina-generated RNASeq data of several populations of Tribolium castaneum larvae selected for higher or lower immune priming specificity as well as unselected control populations. From each of these populations, we injected groups of 20 larvae with either one of three bacteria species or left them untreated as controls. Whole body samples were taken 6h after injection and used for RNASeq Analysis.

Project description:Identification of lncRNAs from late larvae of Tribolium castaneum
Project description:Using a tiled whole-genome microarray, we found that 58.2% of Tribolium castaneum genes are maternally loaded into eggs. Comparison of known Drosophila melanogaster maternal genes to our results showed widespread conservation of maternal function with T. castaneum. We also found many T. castaneum genes with previously identified gender or tissue specific expression were also maternally loaded into eggs. The microarray design also allowed the detection of 2315 and 4060 novel transcriptionally active regions greater in length than 100 bp in unfertilized and fertilized T. castaneum eggs, respectively. The primary objective of this study was to identify expressed regions of the Tribolium castaneum genome in unfertilized and fertilized eggs using a whole-genome tiled microarray. The whole RNA of 3 samples of virgin laid eggs and 3 samples of fertilized eggs were compaired.
