ABSTRACT = {Venom plays several important roles in the life of the fire ant, <i>Solenopsis invicta</i> Buren. Laboratory rearing
significantly affected the toxin component of <i>S. invicta</i>. However, the molecular mechanism of the change of
venomous components when kept in the laboratory is unclear. In this study, RNA sequencing technique (RNA-Seq)
was performed to explore differentially expressed genes in the venom gland of <i>S. invicta</i> at 0, 10, and 60 days after
laboratory rearing. The RNA-Seq results showed that the expression of a large number of genes changed. The DEGs
were involved in multiple pathways, including proteolysis, serine-type endopeptidase, and allergen. Furthermore,
RNA-Seq and qRT-PCR data revealed that the expression of some genes related to proteolysis and allergen
significantly decreased. Thus, our data generated new data relating to toxin-component and the transcriptome
dynamics in the venom gland of S. invicta during laboratory rearing.},
