Abstract
The horn fly, Haematobia irritans irritans (Linnaeus, 1758; Diptera: Muscidae), a hematophagous external parasite of cattle, causes considerable economic losses to the livestock industry worldwide. This pest is mainly controlled with insecticides; however, horn fly populations from several countries have developed resistance to many of the products available for their control. In an attempt to better understand the adult horn fly and the development of resistance in natural populations, we used an Illumina paired-end read HiSeq and GAII approach to determine the transcriptomes of untreated control adult females, untreated control adult males, permethrin-treated surviving adult males and permethrin + piperonyl butoxide-treated killed adult males from a Louisiana population of horn flies with a moderate level of pyrethroid resistance. A total of 128,769,829, 127,276,458, 67,653,920, and 64,270,124 quality-filtered Illumina reads were obtained for untreated control adult females, untreated control adult males, permethrin-treated surviving adult males and permethrin + piperonyl butoxide-treated killed adult males, respectively. The de novo assemblies using CLC Genomics Workbench 8.0.1 yielded 15,699, 11,961, 2672, 7278 contigs (≥ 200 nt) for untreated control adult females, untreated control adult males, permethrin-treated surviving adult males and permethrin + piperonyl butoxide-treated killed adult males, respectively. More than 56% of the assembled contigs of each data set had significant hits in the BlastX (UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot database) (E <0.001). The number of contigs in each data set with InterProScan, GO mapping, Enzyme codes and KEGG pathway annotations were: Untreated Control Adult Females – 10,331, 8770, 2963, 2183; Untreated control adult males – 8392, 7056, 2449, 1765; Permethrin-treated surviving adult males – 1992, 1609, 641, 495; Permethrin + PBO-treated killed adult males – 5561, 4463, 1628, 1211.

1. Data
RNA was isolated from unfed, newly emerged adult horn flies, including untreated control adult females, untreated control adult males, permethrin-treated surviving adult males and permethrin + piperonyl butoxide-treated killed adult males. Subsequently, a single lane of 2 × 54 bp paired end RNASeq reads were obtained, de novo assembled and annotated. The raw reads are accessible at NCBI׳s SRA through the direct link https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sra/SRP131897 or through SRA accession number SRP131897. The adult horn fly transcriptome Shotgun Assembly project has been deposited at DDBJ/EMBL/GenBank under the accession GGLM00000000. The version described in this paper is the first version, GGLM01000000. The overall BioProject ID is PRJNA429442 and the BioSample accessions are SAMN08355023, SAMN08355024, SAMN08355025, and SAMN08355026.
2. Experimental design, materials and methods
2.1. Flies
Adult flies were collected with aerial sweep hand nets from pastured cattle at the St. Gabriel Research Station, Saint Gabriel, Louisiana, and incubated in large inverted Erlenmeyer flasks to collect eggs that were immediately seeded into manure to allow adult fly emergence. The unfed, newly emerged flies were sexed and either immediately frozen at −80 °C for sequencing (females and males) or exposed to low doses of permethrin (1.56 µg/cm2, ~LD25) or permethrin (1.56 µg/cm2, ~LD25) + 1% piperonyl butoxide (PBO) by the impregnated filter paper assay [1] for 2 h. Adult male flies that survived exposure to permethrin and adult male flies killed by exposure to permethrin +PBO were frozen at −80 °C for sequencing.
2.2. RNA isolation
Fourteen unfed, newly emerged adult flies from the untreated control females, untreated control males, permethrin-treated males and permethrin + PBO-treated males groups were used to purify total RNA in a protocol adapted for use with the FastPrep 24 Tissue and Cell Homogeneizer (MP Biomedicals, Solon, OH, USA) and the FastRNA Pro Green Kit (MP Biomedicals).
2.3. Sequencing and bioinformatics
Sequencing was performed at the National Center for Genome Research (Santa Fe, NM, USA) using the standard Illumina RNAseq library preparation protocol and a single lane of the RNAseq. 2 × 54 paired-end approach. A total of 134,671,818, 132,374,494, 68,856,572, 65,427,160 paired-end Illumina raw reads were produced for untreated control adult females, untreated control adult males, permethrin-treated surviving adult males and permethrin + PBO-treated killed adult males, respectively (Table 1). The raw reads of all four datasets were trimmed using either CLC Genomics Workbench 8.0.1 (https://www.qiagenbioinformatics.com/) or Trimmomatic programmable-0.33 [2] (https://de.cyverse.org/de/?type=apps&app-id=8cb5c088-6b3e-11e7-a22d-008cfa5ae621&system-id=de) (parameters: SLIDINGWINDOW: 4:20, LEADING: 3, TRAILING: 3, MINLEN: 20) followed by Sickle-quality-based-trimming_version_1.0 [3] (https://de.cyverse.org/de/?type=apps&app-id=9f5710c6-3424-11e7-9a58-008cfa5ae621&system-id=de) (parameters: quality threshold 20, minimum length 20) and Illumina adaptor sequences and low quality bases were removed. Trimmomatic and Sickle were both run on CyVerse/Discovery Environment [4]. The raw reads were assembled with three assemblers for comparison: CLC Genomics Workbench 8.0.1, Trinity version 2.5.1 [5] (https://de.cyverse.org/de/?type=apps&app-id=trinity-wrangler-2.5.1u2&system-id=agave) or version 11.10.13 (https://de.cyverse.org/de/?type=apps&app-id=trinity-stmpde-11.10.13u2&system-id=agave) and SoapdenovoTrans version 1.0.3 [6] (https://de.cyverse.org/de/?type=apps&app-id=Soaptrans-1.0.3u1&system-id=agave). Both Trinity versions and SoapdenovoTrans were run on CyVerse/Discovery Environment [4]. The kmer lengths used were 21, 23, 24, 25, 27, 29, 31, 32 and 33 for CLC Genomics Workbench 8.0.1, 21, 23, 25, 27, 29, 31, 32 for Trinity version 2.5.1, 25 for Trinity version 11.10.13, and 21, 25, 27, 29, 33 for SoapdenovoTrans version 1.0.3 (Supplementary Table 1).

Sickle-quality-based-trimmimg_version_1.0 [3] (https://de.cyverse.org/de/?type=apps&app-id=9f5710c6-3424-11e7-9a58-008cfa5ae621&system-id=de).
BUSCO version 3.0.2 [8]. Lineage dataset: diptera_odb9 (Creation date: 2016-10-21, number of species: 25, number of BUSCOs: 2799). BUSCO was run in mode: transcriptome. C: Complete BUSCOs, S: Complete and single-copy BUSCOs, D: Complete and duplicated BUSCOs, F: Fragmented BUSCOs; M: Missing BUSCOs.
The assembled transcriptomes were then compared using three tools on CyVerse/Discovery Environment [4]: Compute Contig Statistics (https://pods.iplantcollaborative.org/wiki/display/DEapps/Compute+Contig+Statistics), rnaQUAST_1.2.0 (de novo based) [7] (https://de.cyverse.org/de/?type=apps&app-id=980dd11a-1666-11e6-9122-930ba8f23352&system-id=de) and BUSCO-v3.0 [8] (https://de.cyverse.org/de/?type=apps&app-id=7f948668-7a53-11e7-a680-008cfa5ae621&system-id=de) (Supplementary Table 1). Assemblies with the lowest percentage of missing BUSCOs were considered the best (Table 1) and were submitted to the NCBI Transcriptome Shotgun Assembly (TSA) database after screening with the NCBI foreign contamination screen protocol. Supplementary Files 1–4 contain the FastA sequences of the final assembled database for untreated control adult females (15,699 entries > 200 nt), untreated control adult males (11,961 entries > 200 nt), permethrin-treated surviving adult males (2672 entries > 200 nt), and permethrin + PBO-treated killed adult males (7278 entries > 200 nt), respectively.
The transcriptomes were BlastX aligned against the UniProtKB/SwissProt database (E-value = 1.0 e-3) using Blast2GO PRO version 5.0.21 [9], [10], [11], [12], and annotated using Blast2GO Pro GO Annotation and InterProScan performed using Blast2GO PRO Annotation. KEGG Pathway maps were determined using Blast2GO PRO version 5.0.21 [13]. Statistics of the transcriptomes can be seen in Table 2. Fig. 1 shows the functional annotation of the four transcriptomes for Gene Ontology Level 2 Terms for Biological Process, Molecular Function and Cellular Component. Detailed transcript annotation including BlastX hits, GO terms, InterProScan, Enzyme Codes and KEGG Pathway data can be found in Supplementary Tables 2–5.
