Abstract

This project investigated the role of DNA methylation in the cotton bollworm, Helicoverpa armigera. Through a combination of Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) and Liquid Chromatography Mass Spectrometry (LCMS) analyses, it was possible to quantify DNA methylation at different stages of the H. armigera life-cycle as well as uncover potential functional roles for this epigenetic modification in this economically devastating pest species. The results described provide further insights into the mechanisms of epigenetic systems in insects and provide a platform for future applied research.
