Females physiological stress

Overall, the study aims at obtaining a comprehensive picture of the African malaria mosquito, Anopheles gambiae, transcriptome using high-coverage RNA-Seq of sexed whole-insect samples. This experiment focuses on transcriptomes of females subjected to physiological stress. The samples include adult females collected at different time intervals subject to sub-optimal relative humidity, after exposure to sublethal dose of deltamethrin, or following blood-feeding. Females kept at standard laboratory conditions without exposure to stressors, were collected at the same time intervals as control samples.
