RNA Seq analysis to study the effect of high sugar diet on immune cell transcriptional landscape at the level of metabolism and signalling.
High sugar diets are known to negatively affect animal growth. In order to understand immune-cell specific regulation of animal growth in high sugar dietary stress, it was important to investigate the influence of this diet on immune cells and at organismal level. Hence, we performed RNA sequencing of Drosophila immune cells as well as whole larvae both in short-term and in long term high sugar feeding conditions.
