Analysis of 67 RNA-seq datasets from various tissues at different stages of a model insect, Manduca sexta
Cao, Xiaolong; Jiang, Haobo (BioMed Central, 2017-10-17)Background: Manduca sexta is a large lepidopteran insect widely used as a model to study biochemistry of insect physiological processes. As a part of its genome project, over 50 cDNA libraries have been analyzed to profile ... -
Comparative genomic analysis of the Tribolium immune system
Zou, Zhen; Evans, Jay D.; Lu, Zhiqiang; Zhao, Picheng; Williams, Michael; Sumathipala, Niranji; Hetru, Charles; Hultmark, Dan; Jiang, Haobo (BioMed Central, 2007-08-29)Background: Tribolium castaneum is a species of Coleoptera, the largest and most diverse order of all eukaryotes. Components of the innate immune system are hardly known in this insect, which is in a key phylogenetic ... -
Deep sequencing of small RNA libraries reveals dynamic regulation of conserved and novel microRNAs and microRNA-stars during silkworm development
Jagadeeswaran, Guru; Zheng, Yun; Sumathipala, Niranji; Jiang, Haobo; Arrese, Estela L.; Soulages, Jose L.; Zhang, Weixiong; Sunkar, Ramanjulu (BioMed Central, 2010-01-20)Background: In eukaryotes, microRNAs (miRNAs) have emerged as critical regulators of gene expression. The Silkworm (Bombyx mori L.) is one of the most suitable lepidopteran insects for studying the molecular aspects of ... -
Structure of a prophenoloxidase (PPO) from Anopheles gambiae provides new insights into the mechanism of PPO activation
Hu, Yingxia; Wang, Yang; Deng, Junpeng; Jiang, Haobo (BioMed Central, 2016-01-05)Background: Phenoloxidase (PO)-catalyzed melanization is a universal defense mechanism of insects against pathogenic and parasitic infections. In mosquitos such as Anopheles gambiae, melanotic encapsulation is a resistance ...
