Abstract: Objective To investigate the differential expression of transcriptomes in Boettcherisca peregrine pupae at three developmental stages. Methods Total RNA was extracted from B. peregrine pupae at stages of day 1(MY1), day 5(MY2) and day 10(MY3), reverse-transcribed into cDNA, and sequenced. Gene differential expression was analyzed with edgeR software. GO enrichment analysis was made for genes with differential expression. Analysis of KEGG(Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes) metabolic pathway was made for Universal Gene (Unigene). The simple sequence repeat(SSR) of Unigene was detected with MISA. Results A total of 38 727 Unigenes were obtained after differential expression analysis on cDNA at the three stages. The numbers of genes with differential expression between each two stages were 1 263-2 430, with an overall number of 5 283. Pattern clustering analysis revealed similar expression patterns of those genes at the three stages. A total of 8 856 Unigenes and 336 pathways were annotated for B. peregrine pupae. A total of 12 146 SSR were detected from 8 645 Unigenes(22.3%), comprising predominantly of single-nucleotide repeats(69.23%), then the three-nucleotide repeat(21.0%). Of the SSR, the A/T occurred most frequently, followed by AAC/GTT and AG/GT. Conclusions There are significant differences in gene expression in B. peregrine pupae at different developmental stages.
