The longevity phenomenon is entirely controled by the insulin signaling pathway (IIS-pathway). Both vertebrates and invertebrates have IIS-pathways that are comparable to one another. We analyzed the transcriptomes of both reproductive (different types of kings and queens) and non-reproductive (such as workers) castes of the subterranean termite Reticulitermes chinensis. The goal was to identify the genes responsible for longevity in reproductive and non-reproductive castes. Through transcriptome analysis, we annotated 103,589,264 sequence reads, and 184,436 (7G) unigens were assembled, GC performance was measured at 43.02%, and 64,046 sequences were reported as CDs sequences.
