title: Transcriptome of Heliothis virescens
organism: Heliothis virescens
description: A tobbaco budworm colony (ARS) maintained at the USDA-ARS, Southern insect Management Research Unit, Stoneville, MS was used to extract total RNA from all life stages (from egg to adult).  Total RNA was also extracted from 30 adult male and female moths from field locations in Washington County, MS.  An RNA pool made by mixing equal amount of RNA from all extractions. Standard RNA-Seq protocol was used to obtain 36 nucleotide sequence reads.
