Comparative Transcriptomics of Circadian Gene Expression in Vector Mosquito, Aedes albopictus and Culex quinquefasciatus

This project investigates the circadian patterns of gene expression in two important disease vector mosquitoes: Aedes albopictus (Asian tiger mosquito) and Culex quinquefasciatus (southern house mosquito). Using high-throughput sequencing technology, we analyzed the transcriptomes of these species at multiple time points over a 24-hour cycle. Our study aims to elucidate the circadian regulatory mechanisms governing mosquito physiology, potentially informing the development of novel vector control strategies. The dataset comprises RNA-Seq results from both mosquito species across several time points, providing a valuable resource for further investigation into mosquito clock genes and their regulatory networks. This research contributes to our understanding of vector biology and may have implications for managing mosquito-borne diseases.
