Lineage-dependent microbial shifts in the reproductive tract of black soldier flies (Hermetia illucens) reveal novel mating-linked associations
This dataset contains raw Illumina MiSeq paired-end 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing reads generated from reproductive tissues of Hermetia illucens (black soldier fly). Sequencing targeted the bacterial 16S rRNA gene for characterization of microbial community composition in relation to sex, mating status, and genetic line. Raw FASTQ files are provided without rarefaction and were used for downstream quality filtering, denoising, and compositional analyses.
