Transcriptomics analysis of ethanol treatment of male aedes aegypti reveals a small set of putative radioprotective genes

HIGHLIGHTS

SUMMARY

    Sterilization with ionizing_radiation (x-rays) is a commonly used mechanism for sterilization of males. Keyword Aedes aegypti, sterile insect technique, radioprotection, transcriptomics, ionizing_radiation The authors describe the effects of ethanol feeding and ionizing_radiation on gene_expression in male Ae. aegypti and report a set of genes with increased expression after ethanol-feeding that may "prime" male mosquito fitness to subsequent sterilizing doses of ionizing_radiation. The authors searched the data for genes that may maximize male fitness after exposure to a sterilizing dose of ionizing_radiation. Studies designed to knock down or knock out these genes prior . . .
