i5k Workspace

About the i5k Workspace@NAL

The i5k Workspace (https://i5k.nal.usda.gov) is an inclusive genome portal for any arthropod genome project that would like to make use of our resources. We provide download services, BLAST, the JBrowse genome browser, and the Apollo manual curation service. Over 50 arthropod genomes are now part of the i5k Workspace, and users are encouraged to browse the genomes that we host, and contribute to the curation of each genome. For more information about the i5k Workspace, you can read our paper on the i5k Workspace, view our posters and talks, and find our software projects on github. The Ag Data Commons is now hosting a growing number of i5k Workspace datasets.

About the i5k initiative

The i5k initiative is a transformative project that aims to sequence and analyze the genomes of 5,000 arthropod species. The National Agricultural Library has partnered with the i5k initiative to create the i5k Workspace@NAL, which serves any ‘orphaned’ arthropod genome project's hosting needs. For more information about the i5k initiative, read the paper and visit the website.

i5k Datasets

2 datasets

Oncopeltus fasciatus hybrid genome assembly 1.0

    The milkweed bug, *Oncopeltus fasciatus*, was sequenced as part of the i5k pilot project from Baylor College of Medicine (Illumina data). To augment those resources, we present here a hybrid genome assembly with low coverage PacBio data, assembled with PBJelly: the *Oncopeltus fasciatus* Hybrid Genome Assembly v1.0.

    Manual annotations of Rhyzopertha dominica genome assembly RdoDt3_Drdd8_decomES

      This dataset contains manual annotations from Rhyzopertha dominica community curators, based on genome assembly RdoDt3_Drdd8_decomES.fasta.gz. These annotations are direct exports from Apollo 2.6 (https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.5015109), hosted by the i5k Workspace@NAL (https://i5k.nal.usda.gov/). Manual annotations are temporary and will be reviewed by the i5k Workspace@NAL and submitted to NCBI's GenBank database after review.
