Asian giant hornet, Vespa mandarinia, genome assembly
Genome assembly of the Asian giant hornet, Vespa mandarinia, using a specimen collected from the first nest located in North America.
Ag Data Commons migration begins October 18, 2023
The Ag Data Commons is migrating to a new platform – an institutional portal on Figshare. Starting October 18 the current system will be available for search and download only. Submissions will resume after the launch of our portal on Figshare in November. Stay tuned for details!
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
5 datasets
Neodiprion lecontei Official Gene Set v1.1
This dataset presents the *Neodiprion* Official Gene Set (OGS) v1.1. It was generated using Maker v2.31.8, followed by CrossMap re-mapping of coordinates to genome assembly Nlec1.1 ([https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/assembly/GCA_001263575.2/](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/assembly/GCA_001263575.2/)).
Oncopeltus fasciatus Official Gene set v1.2
This dataset presents the Oncopeltus fasciatus Official Gene Set (OGS) v1.2. The OGS is an update of OGSv1.1. Manual annotations from the Apollo manual annotation tool were merged with OGSv1.1 using the NAL's [prototype Merge program](https://github.com/NAL-i5K/I5KNAL_OGS).
Oncopeltus fasciatus genome assembly 1.0
The Baylor College of Medicine recently sequenced and annotated the Oncopeltus fasciatus genome as part of the i5k pilot project.
The O. fasciatus research community has manually reviewed and curated the computational gene predictions and generated an official gene set, OGSv1.1. This dataset presents the Oncopeltus fasciatus genome v1.0. This assembly version is the pre-release version, prior to filtering and quality control by the National Center for Biotechnology Information's GenBank resource.
Homalodisca vitripennis genome annotations v0.5.3
The *Homalodisca vitripennis* genome was recently sequenced and annotated as part of the i5k pilot project by the Baylor College of Medicine. This dataset presents the *Homalodisca vitripennis* genome v1.0. This assembly version is the pre-release version, prior to filtering and quality control by the National Center for Biotechnology Information's GenBank resource.
