Project description:Four developmental stage small RNA libraries including Eggs, Larvae, Pupae and Adults were constructed, where a lot of known miRNAs were identified and many novel miRNAs were predicted. Comparison of their expression profiles in the four libraries suggested that Bactrocera dorsalis miRNAs are dynamically regulated throughout the life cycle.Further analysis of the expression and function of these miRNAs could increase our understanding of regulatory networks in the insect and lead to novel approaches to its control.
Project description:We constructed three small RNA libraries from embryos at 5, 6 and 7 post-oviposition (hpo) of Bactrocera dorsalis for deep sequencing. The data analysis revealed 147 known and 103 novel miRNAs from these libraries.
Project description:We constructed three RNA libraries from embryos at 0-1, 2-4 and 5-8 post-oviposition (hpo) of Bactrocera dorsalis for deep sequencing. Using an Illumina HiSeq 2500 platform, we mapped more than 83, 85 and 98 million sequence reads from 0-1, 2-4 and 5-8 hour embryos respectively, and identified a total of 13,489 unigenes. 1683, 3201 and 3134 unigenes showed differential expression between the 0-1 and 2-4 hour embryos, the 0-1 and 5-8 hour embryos, and the 2-4 and 5-8 hour embryos respectively.
