This document summarizes work analyzing meta-transcriptomics data from rice stem borer gut bacteria to study gene expression levels and annotate carbohydrate-active enzymes (CAZymes). It discusses quality checking the next-generation sequencing data, predicting proteins, and annotating genes like glycoside hydrolase families GH48, GH9, and GH6. Expression levels of these families are analyzed across time points and diversity and domain arrangements are examined. Future plans include annotating additional CAZy families and correlating transcriptome and proteome data.
