RNA-seq of Sitobion avenae body parts and developmental stages. RNA-seq of Sitobion avenae body parts and developmental stages

The English grain aphid, Sitobion avenae, is a major agricultural pest of wheat, barley and oats, and is a major vector of Barley Yellow Dwarf Virus (BYDV) leading to reductions in grain yield. RNA-seq data from a genotype (SA3) was generated from heads and bodies, and from winged and unwinged aphids. The primary goal was to generate evidence for genome annotation, and the secondary goal was to compare expression of genes between head and body, and also between winged and unwinged aphids.

麦长管蚜（Sitobion avenae）是小麦、大麦及燕麦的主要农业害虫，同时亦是大麦黄矮病毒（Barley Yellow Dwarf Virus，BYDV）的主要传播媒介，可造成谷物产量损失。本数据集针对基因型SA3的麦长管蚜，分别从其头部、躯体以及有翅型、无翅型个体中提取实验材料，生成了RNA测序（RNA-seq）数据。本次研究的核心目标为基因组注释提供实验依据，次要目标则为对比分析蚜虫头部与躯体、有翅型与无翅型个体间的基因表达差异。
