Transcriptome analysis of the oriental fruit fly Bactrocera dorsalis early embryos

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. RNA profiles from embryos at 0-1, 2-4 and 5-8 post-oviposition (hpo) of Bactrocera dorsalis were generated by Illumina deep sequencing.
