Transcriptome analysis using next generation sequencing (NGS) technology provides the capability to understand global changes in gene expression throughout a range of tissue samples. The nematodeCaenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans)is a well-established genetic system used for analyzing a number of biological processes.C. elegansare a bacteria-eating soil nematode, and changes in bacterial diet have been shown to cause a number of physiological and molecular changes. Here we used Illumina RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) analysis to characterize the mRNA transcriptome of mixedC. eleganspopulations fed differing strains of bacteria to further understand dietary changes at the molecular level. Raw FASTQ files for the RNA-seq libraries are deposited in the NCBI Sequence Read Archive (SRA) and have been assigned BioProject accession PRJNA412551.
