Transcriptome variations in Aedes aegypti larvae resistant to Bti using illumina-solexa DGETP method
Transcriptome variations associated with Bti resistance in the yellow fever                 mosquito using next-generation sequencing technology
This study investigates transcriptome variations in fourth stage larvae                 of the yellow fever mosquito Aedes aegypti from a laboratory selected strain showing                 elevated resistance to toxins of the bacterio-insecticide Bacillus thuringiensis                 israelensis. Differential transcriptome analysis between the susceptible and the                 resistant strains was performed using solexa next generation sequencing from cDNA                 tag libraries following the digital gene expression tag profiling method. Several                 genes and unannotated genomic regions differentially transcribed between the two                 strains were identified. Particular genes potentially involved in Bti resistance                 mechanisms were further characterized.
