Ips typographus tissue Transcriptome

Bark beetles must conquer the tree defense to reproduce and thrive. The genome of Eurasian spruce bark beetle, Ips typographus (Scolytinae), will aid in a better understanding of the adaptive physiology of the beetle and answer many other intriguing ecological questions. To facilitate the genome annotation pipeline of Ips typographus, we have performed transcriptome sequencing of 13 tissues obtained from different life stages of the beetle. The tissue transcriptome data used in the annotation pipeline of the genome and gave some important insights on the tissue-specific gene expression. Our tissue transcriptome data expanded the existing knowledge about gene expression and their fundamental function in different life stages of Ips typographus.
