The undergraduate research program in Biology at Washington & Jefferson College studies the tobacco hornworm (Manduca sexta) to understand myogenesis, the formation of muscular tissue. As a computing researcher supporting the project, I help my partners in biology process and interpret their experimental data. The aim of this project is to determine the transcriptomes involved in the muscle development of M. sexta in its flight and tergosternal muscles. The experiment used RNA-Seq to identify differentially expressed genes in these samples. These initial results also contributed to phylogenetic and functional enrichment analyses.
