Data from: Generation and analysis of blueberry transcriptome sequences from leaves, developing fruit, and flower buds from cold acclimation through deacclimation

    There has been increased consumption of blueberries in recent years fueled in part because of their many recognized health benefits. Blueberry fruit is very high in anthocyanins, which have been linked to improved night vision, prevention of macular degeneration, anti-cancer activity, and reduced risk of heart disease. Very few genomic resources have been available for blueberry, however. Further development of genomic resources like expressed sequence tags (ESTs), molecular markers, and genetic linkage maps could lead to more rapid genetic improvement. Marker-assisted selection could be used to combine traits for climatic adaptation with fruit and nutritional quality traits.

    Data from: Characterization of Adult Transcriptomes from the Omnivorous Lady Beetle Coleomegilla maculata Fed Pollen or Insect Egg Diet

      Expressed genes from two individual sibling specimens of *Coleomegilla maculata* (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae). One individual was fed only insect eggs as an adult, and one was fed only pollen as an adult. Two sequenced samples, total RNA from a single individual adult specimen of *Coleomegilla maculata*, a beneficial lady beetle common in agroecosystems and native to North America. One sample was an adult fed only insect eggs (carnivore diet) and one sample was an adult fed only pollen (plant-based diet); insects were reared from the same egg mass (siblings), fed identical diet while in larval stage.

      Orussus abietinus mitochondrial genome assembly

        The Baylor College of Medicine has sequenced and annotated the Orussus abietinus genome as part of the i5k pilot project. This dataset represents a targeted assembly and annotation of the mitochondrial genome.

        Athalia rosae mitochondrial genome assembly

          The Baylor College of Medicine has sequenced and annotated the Athalia rosae genome as part of the i5k pilot project. This dataset represents a separate targeted assembly of the mitochondrial genome.

          Data from: The assembled transcriptome of the adult horn fly, Haematobia irritans

            To better understand the adult horn fly, *Haematobia irritans irritans*, and the development of resistance in natural populations, an Illumina paired-end read HiSeq and GAII approach was used 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.

            myPhyloDB

              myPhyloDB is an open-source software package aimed at developing a user-friendly web-interface for accessing and analyzing all of your laboratory's microbial ecology data (currently supported project types: soil, air, water, microbial, and human-associated). The storage and handling capabilities of myPhyloDB archives users' raw sequencing files, and allows for easy selection of any combination of projects/samples from all of your projects using the built-in SQL database. The data processing capabilities of myPhyloDB are also flexible enough to allow the upload, storage, and analysis of pre-processed data or raw (454 or Illumina) data files using the built-in versions of Mothur and R.

              Orussus abietinus Official Gene Set OGSv1.0

                The Orussus abietinus genome was recently sequenced and annotated as part of the i5k pilot project by the Baylor College of Medicine. The Orussus abietinus research community has manually reviewed and curated the computational gene predictions and generated an official gene set, OGSv1.0. The general procedure for generating this OGS is outlined here: https://github.com/NAL-i5K/I5KNAL_OGS/wiki. OGSv1.0 was generated by merging gene set OABI-V0.5.3-Models generated by the Baylor College of Medicine, and community-curated models in the Apollo software, after QC of the Apollo output.
