Expression profile of third instar larval salivary gland tissue

We use mRNA-seq to transcriptionally profile larval salivary gland tissue from Drosophila third instar larvae. These data provide insights into tissue physiology and can be used to identify tissue specific transcripts. Overall design: Salivary glands were dissected from 200 wandering third instar larvae and the associated fat body was removed.Salivary glands were transferred to Graces unsupplemented medium on ice prior to RNA extraction with TRIzol reagent. mRNA-seq samples were prepared from 10 ug of total RNA and subject to Illumina based sequencing.
