Project description:These data contain RNA-seq samples generated from the main chemosensory organs of closely related Drosophila species (D. melanogaster, D. sechellia, D. simulans, D. santomea, D. erecta, and D. suzukii) from larava (head) and adults (antenna, forelegs, proboscis with maxillary palps, ovipositors (female only) for both males and females. The purpose for generating these data was to carry out evolutionary analyses of gene expression differences between the six species.
Project description:Using microarray-based comparative genome hybridizations (mCGH), the genomic content of Wolbachia pipientis wMel from Drosophila melanogaster was compared to the Wolbachia from D. innubila (wInn), D. santomea (wSan), and three strains from D. simulans (wAu, wRi, wSim).
